PR 'N Their Socks Off

PR 'N Their Socks Off was the title of 2 presentations/speeches I have given in the last month on public relations.

My first experience as a guest speaker was to about 40 greek and organizational leaders on my campus. I was asked to inform them about all the different PR options this school has to offer and the benefits of publicizing their event. I spoke for about 15 minutes and was told that my segment was one of the most interesting ones of the day.

The second time I spoke about public relations was this past weekend at the Georgia College Press Association's (GCPA) yearly conference. Andrea Lowery, Marianna Miller and I were asked to talk for 50 minutes on the PR work we did for our college newspaper last semester and the benefits of having a PR representative for a college newspaper. It appeared that the crowd was very attentive and when we asked for the audiences thoughts and questions many people spoke up.

I felt very honored to speak at both these events and enjoyed the public speaking practice.
