    UMD Student Wins PRSSA Service Award for Outstanding Contributions

    The PRSA National Capital Chapter (PRSA-NCC) announced University of


    Maryland’s very own Gillian Casey as the winner of the PRSSA Service Award in
    Washington, D.C.

    PRSA-NCC established the Service Award in 2017 to recognize student


    representatives from local PRSSA chapters who have made outstanding
    contributions to their organizations. It also serves as a way to showcase future
    leaders in the communication industry.

    “Gillian’s dedication to PRSSA is incredibly impressive.


    Under her leadership, the University of Maryland
    chapter has become a vibrant and growing student
    organization, and we look forward to seeing what she
    will accomplish following graduation," said Stacy
    Hope, PRSA-NCC chapter president.

    Casey is the current president of the UMD PRSSA


    chapter and a senior Communication major in the PR track. She has been an
    active member in PRSSA since her freshman year, holding multiple leadership
    positions including treasurer, vice president and current president.

    Casey’s contributions to PRSSA include winning a Pepsi grant, a campus-wide


    grant for student-run organizations. The grant underwrites the Run for Your PR 5K
    that is held in memory of Vincent Tran, a UMD public relations student and PRSSA
    officer who passed away in 2016. The annual run raises funds for the Tran
    Scholarship, which supports diversity in PR. Casey was the recipient of the
    scholarship in 2017 and sits on the selection committee for this year.

    In addition to her involvement with PRSSA, Casey was the president of the
    Undergraduate Communication Association (UCA) for the 2017- 2018 academic
    year, a Teaching Assistant for COMM 331 and has worked various internships at
    small and large PR firms, as well as a non-profit.
    “We had three finalists for this year’s award for PRSSA Service Award, and the
    Executive Committees from 2018 and 2019 Board of Directors felt Gillian’s service
    to Maryland’s PRSSA was fantastic,” said Sabrina Kidwai, former president of
    PRSA-NCC and current board member. “Gillian’s contributions and the role she
    played demonstrated her drive to advance the PR profession as well as helping
    the chapter give back to their community.”

    “I am honored to have received the 2018 PRSA-NCC


    Service Award,” said Casey. “Working as an executive
    board member for PRSSA these past four years has
    been extremely rewarding, and this award is a humbling
    culmination of my time with this organization.”
