16. DENTON, Texas (March 30, 2015) – The PRSSA Chapter at the University of North Texas served the Denton
community at the annual Big Event on Saturday, March 28. The Big Event is a nationally recognized day of service
where volunteers serve their local community. Projects included gardening, creating food kits for the hungry, and
picking up trash. The Big Event is part of UNT’s commitment to serve the community.
The event was from 7:30 a.m.—12 p.m. in Denton County. UNT PRSSA members joined over 2,500 UNT students,
faculty, staff, and alumni at the breakfast and kick off rally at the Onstead Promenade, located on UNT campus.
UNT Vice President of Student Affairs Elizabeth With rallied the energized crowd with words of encouragement
and pride. “Truly, thank you for all you do,” said Elizabeth With.
UNT PRSSA arrived at McNair Elementary at 8:30 a.m. to improve the Environmental Learning Area. The volunteers
trimmed branches, raked old leaves, and removed weeds and other unwanted plants from the garden.
“I love participating in it. It is my second year,” said Kelly Norman, the chapter’s Vice President of Public Relations.
“I think it was a really good thing to do because it helps out the community and it’s great to give back.”
The UNT PRSSA chapter returned to Onstead Promenade for a post-service celebration from noon to 2 p.m. The
volunteers were treated with free pizza and live music.

Channels Group PR
by Crystal Hollis (UNT PRSSA Historian)
November 21, 2014
Denton, Texas – The last PRSSA informational meeting of Fall 2014 was on November 20th. The
meeting began with an announcement about the Senior send off party to be held at El Guapo’s on
December 4th. Graduation for Mayborn students will be held at the University of North Texas
Coliseum building on December 13th.
Members at the meeting began discussing current events for the week that is relevant to public
relations. Uber’s VP of Business Emil Michael have made comments aimed at PandoDaily’s editor
Sarah Lacy because of criticisms made against the company. However despite the bad publicity, the
comments did not severely affect the perceptions of Uber’s consumer base. Next, members
discussed the Bill Cosby rape allegations and watched Janice Dickenson’s interview on
Entertainment Tonight’s website.
Later during the meeting, Kimberly Sims arrived to speak to PRSSA members. Sims is the Vice
President of Open Channels Group PR, a cross-cultural communications firm located in Fort Worth,
Texas. OCG PR has won awards including,
• 2012 AdColor MVP Award for partnership with Fleishman-Hillard on AT&T
• 2012 Vision Fort Worth 20/20 Award for being a great place to work for young, emerging talent
• 2011 MarCom Gold Award for Marketing/Branding Refresh: OCG “We Are PR.” campaign
Kimberly Sims spoke to PRSSA members about diversity in the public relations industry. She began her speech by getting to know the
students. Sims asked what PRSSA members are looking for in PR and what it was like working at a PR internship. One student talked
about how her internship was in a male dominated office and she was disappointed in the lack of hands on activities. “Keep pushing the
envelope,” Sims replied. “Look for an opportunity to get your ‘feet wet.’ If they’re not giving you opportunities, then look somewhere
else.”
Sims talked about how many people gravitate towards groups that makes them comfortable. However diversity is important because it
drives economic growth, captures a greater market share, avoids employee turnover costs, and fosters a more creative and innovative
workforce. “Diversity is not just about black and white,” said Sims. “You have people from all walks of life with different viewpoints.” Sims
continued to provide advice to UNT PRSSA students and encourages the idea of getting out of the comfort zone. “Public Relations [is] the
