Snap! Snap! to CUPRAP
So, I did a presentation this morning at the Spring meeting of an organization called CUPRAP, the College and University Public Relations Association of Pennsylvania. The first snap! snap! to CUPRAP is for holding the meeting at the old Hotel Hershey where a chocolate bar accompanies your room key and “kisses” are on your pillow at night. (Note to self….take kids for weekend this summer.) The second snap! snap! to CUPRAP is for effectively filling a gap somewhere between CASE and AMA. The organization now has almost 400 members and has expanded well beyond Pennsylvania and PR. They have members from the surrounding state and in areas including media relations, the Web, marketing, etc. Board Member, Ray Betzner, from Temple University, described how CUPRAP is testing new names which more appropriately describe the current and future scope of the organization. If you work at an institution basically anywhere in the northeast or Mid-Atlantic, look into becoming a member.
