Business in the front, party in the back.

Join us Sept. 19, for our 2nd Annual Mullet Mixer. During the front half of the event, we’ll introduce you to our organization’s new Executive Board, as well as preview the events we have planned for the year. The back half of the event, we’ll offer coffee and refreshments, and give you an opportunity to network with local professionals — some who will act as mentors in our GROW Mentorship Program — as well as other students interested in public relations.
