Organizations
Students in the Department of Communication at the 天美影视传媒 can participate in the following organizations: American Advertising Federation, Public Relations Student Society of America and Lambda Pi Eta.
AAF
American Advertising Federation
Have a passion for advertising? So do we! We're a group of students (along with a
few faculty members) who love Advertising and decided "Hey, lets get a club going."
And here we are! We provide an energetic, fun and productive environment for students
who are interested in the field of Advertising. Through membership with this club
we hope to prepare our members for life after college, or as others put it, the real
world (the non-MTV version).

PRSSA
Public Relations Student Society of America
Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) is the foremost organization for
students interested in public relations and communications. We serve our members by
enhancing their knowledge of public relations and providing access to professional
development opportunities. We serve the public relations profession by helping develop
highly qualified, well-prepared professionals. We seek to advance the public relations
profession by nurturing generations of future professionals, advocating rigorous academic
standards for public relations education and withholding the highest ethical principles
and diversity in the profession.
