Dive into the Ocean of PR

#DiveIn with us by learning about our regional conference!

On April 8-9, 2017, our Chapter made big waves by hosting our regional conference, Dive into the Ocean of PR. Through our regional conference, we encouraged aspiring communications professionals from across the West Coast to explore the vast sea of opportunities San Diego has to offer. Learn how we tested the waters of research, hospitality and tourism, sports, entrepreneurship, public affairs and more.

Meet  Our  Teams

Our regional conference could not have set sail without our two teams: our regional conference committee and the JMS 585 team. Our regional conference committee breathed air into our sails by planning the logistics of this event. Additionally, the JMS 585 team, which was composed of San Diego State University students who complete a PR campaign as their senior capstone project, steadily steered our course by researching, planning, implementing and evaluating a PR campaign for our regional conference.
