About #PRStudChat
It began with a simple question asked by
Angela Hernandez, then President of PRSSA at Central Michigan University (CMU). “
Is PR Right for me?” A follow-up blog post by Communication Strategist
Deirdre Breakenridge inspired a series of direct messages on Twitter between Breakenridge and fellow PR industry pro,
Valerie Simon. This was an important question and one that should be explored beyond one student or one blog post. Why not build a community to help students across the country, and even the globe, learn from the experience and perspective of industry professionals … A community where everyone can learn and grow together.
