Diversity Committee... Part Dos!


The diversity committee met for a brief 45 minutes this week, and though we are a small group--I see a lot of potential in this sub-committee of PRSSA.

Here is the project that we are currently working on:

Public Relations Packet: PR packet will be distributed to ALL multicultural organizations on campus.

Part One--Includes public relations resources that student organizations can utilize including free publicity, how to write a press release, how to pitch a story, how to create a basic website, etc.

Part Two--The do's and don't of public relations for their organization.

Part Three--Research and Evaluation Examples/Template for their organization to use.

Part Four--Diversity committee contact information

The packet will be given to a targeted audience which includes Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council, Multicultural Services and Programs, and International Student Life.

Their are seven individuals working on the packet, and it should be done by next week. The beginning of our cause has begun--hooray!

If you have any ideas on what else we can put in the packet, please do not hesitate to put your ideas on the comment section and I will bring up to the entire committee.

It will be directed to their public relations chair

I think the most important part of this is to either make it concise or include some sort of short summary to each part. Not everybody wants to read a novel on PR the way we do. Also, make sure to include in it that local media are often extremely drawn to stories that showcase diversity or overcoming adversity, as I found when I was in charge of the PR for my school's
International Student Association's week-long festival.

As I've mentioned before, make sure to distribute this to any student groups relating to LGBTQ issues, oh, and now that I think of it, disability issues.
