BizComm grad Alex Parker ('15) is finishing up her third week at Georgetown University in the Masters of Professional Studies in Sports Management Program. The program is recognized as one of the top sports programs in the world, as it provides students with the business management and leadership skills needed to succeed in the sports industry.

During her time at Stevenson, Alex interned with the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Wizards. Her love of the sports industry led her to further her education at Georgetown. 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!
