Student organizations expand students' horizons and connect them to the professional worlds. Our students are members of several organizations, including:

National Association of Black Journalists : This is the leading organization of African-American journalists and communications professionals. Our students participate in special NABJ programs through a partnership funded by the Scripps Howard Foundation.

American Advertising Federation (AAF) : We have a student chapter of the 40,000- member national group founded in 1969. Students have the opportunity to develop advertising campaigns for nationwide competitions and participate in national conventions.

Kappa Tau Alpha : Founded in 1910 at the University of Missouri, this is the national honor society in journalism and mass communication. The Hampton University Chapter was chartered in 1981. Its purpose is to recognize and encourage outstanding scholarship and good character among students. Membership is restricted to junior and seniors who rank in the upper 10 percent of their class.

Radio Club : It is open to all Hampton University students interested in working in the radio industry. Members are introduced to leaders in the recording and radio industries through monthly meetings and they have the opportunity to apply for many on-air, programming and production positions available at WHOV-FM, the campus radio station.

Public Relations Society of America : In 2001, a chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America was approved by the national organization of public relations professionals. It was the culmination of two years work by a team of public relations students and their professor, Rosalynne Whitaker-Heck. The PRSSA charter chapter provides our public relations students with exciting opportunities for internships, conferences, competitions and networking.
