She writes, "I'm really enjoying my classes so far. I've also had a few opportunitites to network with some professors and alumni already. So far, I feel like this is a great fit for me and I feel very prepared thanks to everyone in the BizComm department." Way to go, Alex!

Each year, the Principles and Practices of Public Relations class explores the professional responsibilites of practitioners and students have the opportunity to act as their own public relations firm. Students examine all aspects of Business Communication and are asked to complete a semester-long project that generates more public awareness about the major. This video was created by Amanda Childs ('13), Kristin Baione ('14), and Julia Tucker ('14) for the course, and details what our major has to offer!
