The University of Alabama Birmingham chapter of the Public Relations Council of Alabama/Public Relations Student Society of America won Chapter of the Year honors at the Public Relations Council of Alabama annual conference in Montgomery, Ala., this month.
This year’s win helped secure the 31st victory in the past 32 years for the university.
“It’s been great to be part of a student organization that strives for success,” said Rebecca Egeland, 2015-2016 UAB PRCA/PRSSA president. “It’s been interesting working with students from different backgrounds while knowing that we’re all working toward a similar goal for a more positive future.”
UAB students also received three medallion awards and 11 merit and excellence awards.
Retired faculty member, John Wittig, Ph.D., was recognized for his contributions and impact on public relations and education.
The UAB PRCA/PRSSA provides free public relations help to non-profit organizations in order for student members to gain experience in the field.
