Getting involved
Joining a journalism club is one of the best things you can do during your time at KU. There are multiple clubs for both news and information and strategic communication majors.
As a strategic communication major, I have been a part of KU’s Ad Club and Public Relations Student Society of America for two years.
Both clubs have meetings twice a month where they invite professionals in the industry to talk about what they do and answer students’ questions. These meetings are great networking opportunities, too.
My favorite event with these clubs is the annual agency crawl. The crawl consists of four tours of major advertising and public relations agencies in Kansas City.
Being involved in these clubs gives you an edge against other students and adds something that is very impressive to your resume.
Plus, you get to hang out with students who are interested in the same awesome jobs you are.
