Mix, mingle and celebrate the season with fellow PR industry friends, colleagues and students as we close out 2025!

We'll be gathering in the Upstairs Dining Room at The Mitten, enjoying delicious bites and brews. Join us for good cheer, great beer, and even better connections. Drinks will be pay-as-you go, but food will be provided -- and we'll even have some special Holiday Surprises! A perfect chance to connect, reflect and toast to what’s next in the coming year.

This event is planned in partnership with GrandPR, a nationally affiliated and award-winning integrated communications firm created and managed by student professionals attending Grand Valley State University.
