The October 22 meeting was cancelled because of the weather, but here's what you missed from the newsletter.
PRestige is working to compile contacts and pitch Wiggio to all student organizations, especially major organizations such as Residence Hall Association, Greek Life and Student Government. PRestige members will pitch to two organizations a week for four weeks. In addition to pitching to organizations, PRestige plans to create a Wiggio Facebook fan page, secure an article in The Daily Reveille and create sidewalk chalk art outside of Free Speech Alley and the Quad.
LSU’s Homecoming week is November 9-14. All campus organizations are asked to get involved the many activities planned. CANapalooza is a great way to donate to a great cause and have fun while doing it! If you donate at least 2 canned goods, you can receive 1 activity point for PRSSA! You may drop cans off in a box in the mailroom on the 2nd floor of the Journalism building. Donate to a great cause and earn a point!
Want to study abroad? Take advantage of these opportunities.
The Magical Media Tour (July 13- August 9) is our ever-popular tour that focuses on the British Isles. We'll start in Amsterdam, journey over to Paris and then head through the Chunnel to London for a look at the financial and media capital of Europe. Then it's off to the Scottish highlands of Braveheart and Rob Roy to the mystical isle of Skye. This trip will end in the Gothic splendor of spooky old Edinburgh just as that city gears up for the world's largest festival of comedy, theatre and music. This trip will focus on how public relations and media operate in the UK, how their media differ from our media, and how those differences result in a different society.
Our Hidden Treasures Tour (May 30-June 24) will explore the development of eastern Europe from World War II to its present day membership in the European Union. You'll also learn how to write about interesting places and people. We'll start in the heart of western Europe - romantic Paris - and then journey over to Amsterdam. We'll spend five days in Prague, the present day party capital of Europe, take in a long weekend doing the street fairs and exploring the neighborhoods of beautiful Budapest and then it's off to Vienna, the capital of culture. This trip will topped off by a week on the magnificent coast of Croatia where you'll explore an 1800-year-old palace and swim in the clear waters of Hvar, the resort of the rich and famous.

Our next meeting will be Tuesday, November 3 at 6 p.m.

Upcoming Spring Meeting Dates
Hey everyone,
I hope you all had a great holiday break and are ready to start the spring semester. PRSSA will be EXTREMELY busy this semester now that our Regional Activity has been planned. A MAJOR thanks goes out to Chelsey Laborde for creating a Web site for the Regional Activity. Also, thanks goes out to everyone who has been planning the activity with our coordinator, Laura Weems.
More currently, here are the meeting dates we've schedule in the Holliday Forum for the spring semester (these are all on Thursday, except for March 24):
January 29
February 12
February 26 (Thursday after Mardi Gras)
March 12
March 24 (TUESDAY)--Networking Night is that Thursday
April 16 (Probably officer elections night)
As always, let me know if you have anything you'd like posted to the blog. I'd love this to be a place where LSU PRSSA members can get the recognition they deserve, so if you know of anyone who has gotten special recognition, received scholarships, scored a great internship, etc., let me know and we'll post it here.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the first meeting!
