The Cal State University, Fullerton’s PRSSA chapter is excited to present our district conference, focused on; Breaking Barriers: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. The theme for our regional conference will address some of the recent challenges being faced by today’s communications professionals and will be held virtually on April 8th – April 9th; from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST.
In the past years we have seen corporate social responsibility rise dramatically due to performative activism cases and companies lacking equity strategies. Now we’re seeing exciting new career opportunities within the communications industry revolving around D&I, and this conference is going to teach you how to be part of that in different ways! Through our discussion of diversity in the communications sphere, we will be touching on some amazing topics in the PR world; crisis communications, agency versus corporate life, social media careers, and more.
Attendees can look forward to incredible speakers tuning in from across the nation discussing all aspects of DE&I in the Communications sphere, as well as exciting communications tools and knowledge from their work in the industry
They’ll be teaching us about:
- Career advancement strategies and insight.

- Social media management and career opportunities.
- Crisis communication strategies and case studies.
