Bateman Competition
The Bateman Competition is a national public relations campaign contest for students who are members of a Public Relations Student Society of America chapter. Students use critical thinking skills to solve a public relations problem or take advantage of a public relations opportunity to create a campaign for a national client. PRSSA chapters from all over the U.S. enter teams that will compete throughout the academic year. The three national finalists travel to a designated location to present their campaign to the client and judges panel. Web Resource

PR Internships
Union faculty help students connect with professionals in their fields through internships. Most Public Relations majors complete several internships before graduation. The faculty network continually with professionals around the country to assist students with that perfect intern fit.
