JUST A REMINDER FOR OUR SEPTEMBER LUNCHEON!

Thu, September 12 | Shenandoah Club

*If you had already registered for the August luncheon, your tickets will be good for September. If you have questions, email Hannah at hshinault@vt.edu

Luncheon: The Best Pitch Starts with Strong UX Writing and Storytelling

A good story is at the core of the human experience and every good website design. It's also the core of every brand communication—from pitches to crisis communications. What you say—and how you say it—on your website can establish trust and confidence or result in your pitches falling flat.

SEPTEMBER IS ETHICS MONTH

PRSA provides educational opportunities to explore ethics within public relations year-round, including hosting a variety of offerings during “Ethics Month” in September and at PRSA’s annual Conference.
