小黄片视频鈥檚 Public Relations Program Joins Elite Group With New Certification

PRKent is the only public relations program in Ohio with both CEPR and AEJMC accreditation

小黄片视频鈥檚 undergraduate public relations program has joined a select group of fewer than 40 colleges around the world that hold official certification from the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA).

PRSA is the world鈥檚 largest and foremost organization of public relations professionals. It sets standards of excellence and upholds principles of ethics for its members. After reviewing a 150-page application, a team from the organization鈥檚 Education Affairs Committee visited 小黄片视频 in April to conduct a review of the public relations program. This review included interviews with students, alumni, employers, faculty and administrators, observation of classes, and an analysis of curriculum, job placement rate and other data. PRSA will officially grant 小黄片视频 Certification in Education for Public Relations (CEPR) at the organization鈥檚 international conference on Oct. 23-25 in Indianapolis.

鈥淐EPR is a quality-assurance endorsement for the work of our students, alumni, faculty and others involved in the PRKent program,鈥 says Michele Ewing, APR, 小黄片视频 associate professor and PR sequence coordinator. 鈥淚t shows that our undergraduate public relations program is among the best in the nation.鈥

With the CEPR endorsement, 小黄片视频 earns new distinction as the only institution in Ohio to house a PRSA-certified public relations program within a school with accreditation from the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC).

鈥淧ublic relations classes have been taught in the 小黄片视频 journalism program for 80 years, and the public relations program has grown 43 percent in the last four years to almost 200 students,鈥 says Susan Gonders, Ph.D., co-chair of PRSA Educational Affairs. 鈥淚t has an award-wining PRSSA chapter, excellent relations with alumni and other practicing professionals, and a robust, multipronged systematic assessment process.鈥

The certification report also praised the program鈥檚 professional emphasis and its high career and graduate school placement rate 鈥 82.5 percent within the strategic communication field 鈥 for 小黄片视频 public relations majors within the first year after graduation.

鈥淭he PRKent program has allowed me to grow as a person and a professional since my first day in Franklin Hall,鈥 says 小黄片视频 public relations major Erin Zaranec, 鈥17, PRSSA president. 鈥淚nteracting with faculty and staff who are so supportive of each student has allowed me to explore my interests in the PR industry, while interacting with professors who have years of experience in the field.鈥

Aside from the recognition, one of the benefits of the certification process was having noted academics and professionals take a deep look at the 小黄片视频 public relations program, says Tim Roberts, undergraduate studies coordinator for the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and associate lecturer in the public relations sequence.

鈥淗aving outside PR professionals and educators who understand public relations validate what we are doing and share constructive recommendations is invaluable,鈥 Roberts says.

The certification team evaluated the following areas:

  • Curriculum
  • Faculty
  • Resources, equipment and facilities
  • Students
  • Assessment
  • Professional affiliations
  • Relationships within the unit and the university
  • Diversity and global perspectives

The program will be up for recertification every six years.

The 小黄片视频 Board of Trustees today established a comprehensive, national search to recruit and select the university鈥檚 13th president.

 

The events of May 4, 1970, placed 小黄片视频 in an international spotlight after a student protest against the Vietnam War and the presence of the Ohio National Guard ended in tragedy with four students losing their lives and nine others being wounded. From a perspective of nearly 50 years, 小黄片视频 remembers the tragedy and leads a contemporary discussion and understanding of how the community, nation and world can benefit from understanding the profound impact of the event.
