The Tennessee College Public Relations Association (TCPRA) is a professional organization dedicated to supporting communications, marketing, public relations, enrollment marketing, social media, design, web, and advancement professionals working in higher education across Tennessee.

TCPRA provides opportunities for members to connect, collaborate, learn, and grow alongside peers who understand the unique challenges and opportunities of higher education communications. Whether you’re new to the profession or a seasoned leader, TCPRA offers a welcoming community focused on professional development, innovation, and excellence.

Professional Development & Annual Conference

Each year, TCPRA hosts an annual conference that brings together higher education professionals from across the state for educational sessions, networking opportunities, idea sharing, and recognition of outstanding work through our awards program.

In addition to the conference, TCPRA strives to provide professional development opportunities throughout the year through virtual meetings, discussions, resource sharing, and collaborative learning experiences that help members stay informed about trends and best practices in higher education communications and marketing.

A Message from the President

One of my goals as TCPRA President is to increase participation from colleges and universities across Tennessee and ensure more higher education professionals are aware of the valuable opportunities TCPRA provides.

Our organization offers much more than a conference. TCPRA is a place to build meaningful professional relationships, exchange ideas with colleagues who face similar challenges, discover innovative solutions, and develop leadership skills that can advance your career.

Some of the most valuable benefits of TCPRA come from the connections you make. The relationships formed through this organization often become trusted professional networks that provide support, collaboration, and friendship throughout your career.

Whether you’re representing a community college, public university, private institution, or specialized school, there’s a place for you in TCPRA. We invite you to join us as we continue to strengthen higher education communications across Tennessee.

Hannah Eden, President
