Join our mailing list and conversation Listserv.  PRCOM is a free speech forum for Park University Public Relations and Communication Arts majors and interested people.  The purpose of this open discussion is to facilitate interaction for students at the many Park University campuses.  Students also can post information about the Communication Club.  To subscribe, click here.  If you would like to gain skills in operating a listserv, click here.

Express your interests and give us advice we'll pass on to the Public Relations Student Society of America Chapter.  Consider what students say,

• "Small classes, hands on experiences, and a beautiful campus are just a few of the perks at Park.  Many Communication professors work or have worked in the Communication field outside of Park University.  Therefore, they have first hand experience with the skills we need." 

• "As a student, it is easy to get involved with activities and clubs, such as the Communication Club.  The Stylus student newspaper, the Northland News, and the radio station are activities open to anyone starting your freshman year.  These extra-curricular activities look professional on resumes and future job applications."

• "Our price is reasonable and there are many work-study opportunities for everyone.  There are also financial aid and scholarship opportunities."

• "As a future student, you will not have to worry about the struggles of a large university that does not care about you.  At Park University you will be able to figure out who you are and what you want to do, while enjoying yourself with the interactive classes and activities."
