Professional Organizations for Communication Students

Champlain encourages Communication students to join our chapter of PRSSA, the Public Relations Student Society of America, and Lambda Pi Eta (LPH), the official communication honor society of the National Communication Association. Both associations offer tangible academic and career benefits, such as opportunities for networking, scholarships, and internships.

Students in the LPH honor society will have access to a broad range of professional networking opportunities in the communication field, special recognition and rewards for their academic achievements, and connections with graduate schools. Once you are inducted, you are a lifetime member and will receive a certificate and special regalia to wear at Commencement.
