We know our chapter of Ball State PRSSA shines bright, and now they're officially being recognized among the stars. 🌟

The Ball State chapter of PRSSA recently earned the 2026 National PRSSA Star Chapter Award, adding to their impressive list of accomplishments.

Providing professional development, mentorship, and real-world opportunities while maintaining a high standard and ethics is at the core of everything the chapter does. From social media promotion to communication strategy, BSU PRSSA goes above and beyond any award criteria to serve the university and community.

This work and commitment is what made the student-run organization stand out among others across the country, and they aren't satisfied to stop there. Because ultimately, the goal of the work they do is not to be recognized, but to make an impact on the community, their members, and the field of public relations as a whole.

"We'll keep taking on real clients," Dr. Park said. "We also plan to deepen our partnership with Hoosier PRSA, continue expanding our work with other organizations, and develop newer members into leaders."

As a former student of Dr. Laura O'Hara's, Sam Cooper has firsthand experience of Dr. O'Hara's trademark positive, energetic, and selfless dedication to helping and supporting those around her.

"[In a past] semester, even though it was a last-minute meeting, she was willing to give me help on an essay," Cooper said. "She was also willing to be a practice audience for me so I could better prepare for my public speaking class."

And even when Cooper isn't in Dr. O'Hara's classes, Dr. O'Hara's impact on the community is prevalent. One clear example Cooper has seen again and again is Dr. O'Hara's work with a Communication Studies practicum class.

The class' hard work is on display in numerous ways including their planning of spectacular events like the Comm Gala, fundraising efforts on One Ball State Day, and volunteering at events like CCIM's JDay+.

Her efforts were also recognized in August as she received the Outstanding Faculty Service Award for exceptional professional service to the University, her profession, and the community.

Help us recognize other dedicated faculty and staff members who can't help but make a positive impact on CCIM by following this link: https://forms.clickup.com/2386402/f/28uf2-124037/GK3OSCJWVMZJ19C7C0
