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!

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.
