Four dedicated RWU PRSSA members will be competing against other universities in the U.S with PR programs to develop a PR plan for Solo. The competition seeks to promote recycling, composting and other sustainable practices, as well as understanding and use of green single-use foodservice products at Roger Williams. The campaign slogan is "Go Bare® on Campus." The prize for the winning team is $1,000, while two runners-up will each receive $500 for their Chapters.
The Solo team is made up of Rachel Lawton (SR), a veteran of multiple PR campaigns; Brittany Vail (SR) a newcomer to the campaign trail but with several class projects behind her; Beth Manville, a former account executive for a PR project assigned in class; and Tessa Rickart, an excellent writer and editor. RWU PRSSA has an excellent track record in placing in PR contests. In 2009 they placed third in the nation in the prestigious Bateman Case study competition, and placed honorable mention in 2008,and 2007. In 2009, they also placed third for a campaign they undertook for the CW television Station.
