open mic night

For my PR class we were asked to join yet another social networking website and at first I was skeptical. I mean I blog, I tweet, I have a facebook, I feel pretty good about my social networking skills and my chosen networking platforms. However, I've got to give Ging her props. PR Open Mic is great for people in the PR world as well as for students (like myself) who will be needing to find internships and jobs soon. The website makes it easy to find information regarding both internships and jobs around the country. There are many blogs and links to articles that offer great tips on everything from writing for the social media to resume advice. if you haven't checked this site out yet, you should. propenmic.org

Thunder Rolls

This past semester my PR admin class had been planning and promoting the 11 annual GCSU athletic auction. On April 11, this past Saturday, we finally pulled it off and raised about $40,000 to go towards athletic scholarships. The planning process was long and a bit slow at times. That being said the weekend of the event the class came together to set up the event. Everyone did there part and I even brought along a little helper. In the past few months it has become clear that in order to put on a great, succesful event it is a heck-of-a lot easier and more fun to do it with people you enjoy and get along with.
