MentorMatch Program

PRSSA LAUNCHES MENTORMATCH PROGRAM WITH PRAL & PRSA
November 15, 2006

BATON ROUGE, La. -- The Louisiana State University Chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America is proud to announce its MentorMatch program. The program pairs PRSSA students with local professionals who provide one-on-one advice and counsel. Mentors will help students with their job or internship search, building their portfolio, resume critiques and learning more about the various fields of public relations.

“The mentors participating in this program represent some of the most experienced professionals in Baton Rouge and New Orleans,” said MentorMatch coordinator, Meghan Legaux. “Sports PR, agency, non-profit, government and healthcare are among the various areas of public relations the mentors represent. I think this will be an excellent learning experience for PRSSA students.”

Students and mentors met for a Meet & Greet session. Students set goals and learned about their mentors’ backgrounds during the informal get-together. The year-long program will culminate with a social at the end of the spring semester.
