When I first changed my major to public relations I wasn’t sure what I would want to do in my career. If I am being honest, I still don’t, but I am excited to start a future career in PR because of the numerous of industries I could dive into.
As a senior now, I am so thankful for the professors, peers, courses, and clubs that have helped me feel prepared to graduate. Public relations is a smaller major compared to some here at GS so you get more one-on-one time with professors, smaller class sizes which create friendships, and more opportunities to get involved.
Last spring, I was voted to be the Vice President of Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), in the position I have learned so much, have created new friendships, and overall have grown in my professional development skills. This organization has really helped me fall in love with public relations and I hope other students feel this way as well.
I am so happy that sophomore year I decided to change my major to PR, not only because I have made so many friends and expanded my network, but I now know that I don’t have to worry about not liking my career because there are so many opportunities and different industries in public relations I will absolutely find one that I love.
