Which of the following is a potential responsibility of the AAS Public Affairs Officer?

• A. Coordinating with campus media
• B. Managing internal budgets
• C. Conducting security patrols
• D. Scheduling athletic events

Answer: (B)

Public affairs officers manage how the organization communicates with the public and the campus community, shaping messages and building relationships with media outlets. Coordinating with campus media fits this role because it involves working with student newspapers, radio, TV, and online platforms to share news, issue press releases, handle inquiries, and ensure a consistent voice for the organization. The other tasks sit with different roles: managing internal budgets is a financial function, conducting security patrols belongs to security or operations, and scheduling athletic events falls under events or athletic coordination. So coordinating with campus media is the responsibility that aligns with public affairs.
