WP Pride. “WP contributed to my professional success by having professors in the communication department who have real-life experience in the field. I asked a ton of questions and received many tips that I still use today. I especially learned from working at the University's Marketing and Public Relations office and from being part of the Student Public Relations Association. In addition, I appreciate all the help and guidance from Professor Lorra Brown. The portfolio and senior capstone project I completed in her class helped me start my career in public relations.”
