ABOUT
US

The Public Relations Student Society of America at St. John’s University strives to offer its members the experiences and knowledge essential to building a successful career in the public relations industry.
​
College Magazine ranked St. John’s University #5 in their 10 Best Schools for Public Relations, and included our chapter as one of the many resources students can use to develop their PR skills.
Notably, we host our annual "PR Week" on campus, where students are able to attend professional networking events, an industry panel, and participate in a university-wide mock crisis. This event has received recognition across the College of Professional Studies at St. John’s University.
