Cambrian’s Public Relations (PR) Program brings fun in all shapes and sizes this March.

The event must occur in the month of March giving the students seven months to bring an event to life. Students are driven to make their events huge successes by both a passing grade and raising funds to donate to a charity of the group’s choice.

In my first year of university I had to do a handful of presentations and I completely loathed it. For a while it even made me want to change programs. I got so brain-numbingly nervous during the week prior to a presentation, which resulted in absolute insanity on the day I actually presented and a whole lot of self hatred post-presentation.
