Vice President of Events and Fundraising
Cheryl Lai
Cheryl Lai is a senior studying both Public Relations and Religion at the Boston University College of Communications and the College of Arts & Sciences, respectively. Since her freshman year, Cheryl has been deeply involved with BU PRSSA as a member of its Digital Media and Blog team and a member of the Conference Committee Sponsorships team. Throughout her undergraduate career, Cheryl has also been Director of Sponsorships for the 2024 Northeast District Conference, before becoming Conference Coordinator in 2025.
At BU, Cheryl is also involved in her a cappella group, One Voice, and has held positions on the WTBU radio station and in the College of Communication student government. She also works part-time at the BU Center for the Humanities, amplifying the important work done by humanities scholars, and at the Department of Development & Alumni Relations, where she works with donor data and giving campaigns.
In her spare time, Cheryl can be found completing thousand-piece jigsaw puzzles, tending to her plants, and—when it’s warm in Boston—outside.
