It’s the end of my term as president, and I am reflecting on the accomplishments of our chapter in 2023. Thank you to everyone who made this year special and kept our chapter strong and vibrant. In my final message to the chapter, I thought I’d let the numbers speak for themselves and tell a story of the work we did. Some of my favorite numbers from this year:

· Three: New PRSSA University Chapters we are now sponsoring. Welcome University of Akron, University of Mount Union, and Kent State University
