My PR 107 Campaign Experience

As the first semester of my senior year dwindles down, it is bittersweet to know that it is all coming to and end. By "IT" I mean the four hard years that we have all put so much work into but have also anxiously waited for them to be finished. This semester concludes my public relations courses at Hofstra and I have to say, it has been more than enjoyable. At the start of the semester, I was not sure if I would enjoy PR 107 and what seemed like the heavy and intense responsibility of representing a client from the community. I was also overwhelmed after I was named the team spokesperson and could not stop thinking about how much hard work it would be on top of my already hectic schedule as a student athlete. Despite all of my fear and hesitation, PR 107 has surely become one of my favorite classes here at Hofstra. This class gave me so much experience and a realistic feel that I will definitely be able to take away from me when I graduate in May. Working with our client, Theresa Roden, was an absolute pleasure and we all learned so much from her. While there were definitely times when everyone was frustrated, I can honestly say that all of that has been forgotten when the big picture was revealed. This class- unlike our other PR classes-- has provided me with actual results and demonstrates how your work as a pr practitioner can pay off. It was the best feeling to have Theresa Roden tell us that she is so grateful for us and to express her constant appreciation through the entire project. Seeing actual results is what makes this class amazing and I am so thankful to have been apart of it this semester!
