School ended last Friday, I moved home yesterday, and I’m slowly unpacking now. I am excited to get back to work, mostly to make some money. But I’ve been thinking about what I should do with all the free time I’m going to have this summer, besides reading, of course (see below). I’m a huge animal lover, so I was thinking about volunteering at the local Human Society for a few hours on the weekend. Also, I will be doing some work with Grand PR and maintaining accounts throughout the summer.
However, since becoming President of GVSU’s PRSSA Chapter, I’ve got some planning to do for the next school year. I wouldn’t say that I’m overwhelmed, but I do have a list of tasks I need to complete before the summer ends (and it just started!). For example, a task on my list is maintaining our chapter’s relationship with WMPRSA, which will be hard to do because I live on the East side of Michigan for the summer. Another is contacting potential guest speakers for next year’s PRSSA GA meetings.
What do you have planned for the summer, whether it be volunteering, planning, or something else? I would love to hear from PR students, professionals, or anyone really.

Congrats on your presidency!
I’m planning on doing my internship, getting a few freelance projects going and getting my PR book group back up and running (it’s been neglected due to the busy semester!).
Have a great summer!

I am currently in school full time as well. For the past few years i have been volunteering. It is such a wonderful gratifying feeling to be able to help others out. Working with the human society is huge. I am an animal lover as well, and have volunteered at the local human society. It is well worth the few hours a week, especially seeing the beautiful, loving animals that come in and out of there. They really need that attention and care from someone, as well as knowing how greatly appreciated you are, for sparing your time You should really consider it!
