The Student Public Relations Association (SPRA) is a student-run, student-led group. The purpose of SPRA is to raise awareness of the multidimensional uses of public relations within diverse majors.
Also, the organization works to educate both individuals and other organizations about the advantages of effective public relations.
Members of the SPRA at William Paterson University share and build professional skills by creating and implementing real PR campaigns and have the opportunity to network with working PR professionals.
The SPRA helps different clubs and organizations by guiding them in how to promote events effectively. Toys for tots and the Special Olympics of New Jersey are a few organizations that the SPRA has helped in the past.
The mission is to serve the WPU community by forming mutual beneficial relationships with campus groups. The Association creates public relations programs for select causes and issues of interest to the university’s students, faculty and staff.
