A huge thank you to University of Mary Hardin-Baylor's Lauren Mendias and Ashley Smith for hosting our Advanced PR class today and giving our students a behind-the-scenes look at the "Art of the University Event."
We are so appreciative of the time they spent sharing their event management knowledge and explaining all the behind-the-scenes strategy that goes into creating a successful event—from planning and creativity to collaboration, brand consistency, storytelling, memorable touchpoints, and the overall guest experience.
Meet-ups like this allow students to connect what we discuss in the classroom with the work PR professionals are doing every day.
Thank you, Lauren and Ashley, for sharing your expertise with the next generation of PR professionals!
