Testimonials
Arielle Warren, COM '21
BU PRSSA helped me to establish a professional network, think deeply about various careers in public relations, and gain hands on experience. As agency director of Unleashed, I was able to collaborate with clients, create top-notch deliverables, and manage a team of my peers. These skill set that I build during this tenure has been invaluable to me as I begin in my career.
Makenzie Rogers, COM '26
I am in my second year of BU PRSSA, and I have loved every minute of it. I've made such great friends and gained such great experience in PR. Being the Programming Coordinator, I've had amazing networking opportunities, reaching out to many speakers and genuinely connecting with them. It changed my life, I love it here. I highly recommend it to students interested in the vast field of PR.

BU PRSSA has provided me so many opportunities, especially through meeting industry professionals and build relationships with professionals in areas I am interested in. BU PRSSA’s student-run firm, Unleashed PR, has also enhanced my PR skills and resume tremendously, as I have worked in many areas of PR before even having a full-time job. As agency director for Unleashed PR, I have become familiar with all of the clients and practice areas.
Madeline Chase, COM '22
BU PRSSA helped me gain so much confidence in myself. I have met so many wonderful peers, faculty, and leaders in PR who have given me fantastic advice and opportunities to learn the ropes of the PR industry. Additionally, as President of BU PRSSA, I learned how to be not only a team leader but also a team player, something that has taught me so much and has helped me launch my career in PR.
