Earlier in the week was our March general meeting for PRSSA. Our guest speaker this month was a recent Penn State grad, Krystin Arrabito. She came to Penn State as a journalism major, eventually switched to public relations and graduated in 2011. Arrabito is now an account associate at Emanate PR in New York City. She was the perfect person to give us some insight into finding our footing after graduation.
Finding Your Footing After Graduation with Krystin Arrabito
$12,374,034.46 FOR THE KIDS!
Last weekend, we raised $12,374,034.46 at the 46 hour Penn State Dance Marathon. I spent 36 hours on my feet in the stands with PRSSA. I am so proud of what my school accomplished this year. This was my final THON as a student at Penn State and it was a weekend I will never forget.
My final Spring semester
This month has marked the beginning of my last Spring semester at Penn State. In order to graduate in December, I am currently taking 20 credits.
Rob Boulware, ‘Corporate Comm and Other Rants’
On Tuesday evening, PRSSA hosted our first guest speaker of the year, Rob Boulware the manager of stakeholder relations at Seneca Resources. His company is the exploration and production segment of National Fuel Gas Company. After a nice dinner at the Deli with our executive board, Rob joined us at our general meeting to discuss corporate and crisis communications.

Back to Happy Valley
Summer is over and I have returned to Penn State after seven of the greatest months of my life in Orlando. Now it’s back to business as usual, with a few changes.
Where did September go?
I ended my spring semester really looking forward to blogging about all of my experiences this fall. I was planning to write about my communications classes, my internship, my organizations and whatever else I happened to come across. So now it’s October 4th and this is the first time I have touched my blog all semester. I am very disappointed in myself. But you know, at the same time, I’m proud of myself. I’ve been SOOOOO busy with all of these things that I haven’t had time to write about them! And so follows a brief recap of my first seven weeks of the semester…
