Parsons is an elected trustee for the Arthur W. Page Society, a professional
membership organization for communication leaders. She is also on the Communications
Advisory Council for the College of Chaleston and was a trustee of the Foundation board
of directors at Murray State University.
Being the first of its kind, this public relations lectureship has brought national
leadership to Ball States campus. This forum allows for practitioners, faculty and
students to express new thoughts and ideas in a professional setting.
As the first public relations director for the Ball Corporation, Vernon C. Schranz
was passionate about the field and educating those interested in it. Through the gift of
stock in Ball Corporation, Schranz was able to create an undergraduate public relations
scholarship at Ball State. Naming it after his wife, the Mary Schranz Public Relations
Scholarship is what Tori Banser will receive at the event.
The Schranz lecture is part of Ball States Department of Journalisms Fall 2015
Professional in Residence series. The PIR presentations are free and open to the public,
made possible by donations from generous Ball State Alumni. For more information, visit
