Advanced Comm Skills students had not one but three speakers from Edelman last week. All were SMU communications alums who came to offer advice to CCPA students about working in "real world" PR. SMU CCPA graduates Kate Parkhouse and Stephanie Blackburn, and SMU Journalism graduate Antra Higgins spoke frankly about what students can expect, ways to prepare and how to get an edge in the very competitive communications field.
Students gave a resounding thumbs up to the presentation.
Thanks to our speakers and to Edelman Dallas for letting you off work to visit our class.

I was thrilled to hear from all of you about your experience in PR. You provided information we really wanted to know: what its like the first year. Many speakers provided us info on what it takes to get the job, but it was nice to hear more about what happens after you get the job. Thanks!
