OC Eagle PR

We are incredibly proud of our Eagle PR graduating seniors: Communication majors Amanda Barnett, Tess Linderman, and Graphic Design major (& Social Media Comm minor) Megan Chambers! We are truly grateful for everything you’ve given to the program. We wish you all the best as you take the next step and look forward to seeing what the future holds for each of you! Congrats!

Today, we’re saying goodbye and good luck to our very own Co-Director Thokozani Fuller! She graduated this December with a bachelor’s in Public Relations and Social Media. This semester, Zani became Co-Director alongside Amanda Barnett.

“Being Co-Director alongside Zani has been such a blessing,” Barnett said. “I have loved working with her and getting to know her along the way. She has been such a great addition to our team and we will miss her! I know she will do great things, and I can’t wait to continue cheering her on as she moves into this next season of her life.”

Good luck, Zani, you will be missed!

Ready, set, GO! 🍫 The final day of the Unwrap the Story scavenger hunt is underway! Our very own Tess Linderman spoke in Freshmen Chapel to remind you of how it works: find our chocolate wrapper in Garvey and bring it to the Eagle PR room to receive credit for your club. The club with the most participation by 5 p.m. today will win either pizza, Crumbl cookies or Texas Roadhouse rolls at their next meeting. If you are a freshmen, you'll be entered into a drawing for a $25 Starbucks gift card. The wrapper will be re-hidden every time it's found, so stay on the lookout today! Happy hunting!

We’re honored to have OC’s very own star athlete, Tyrus Baynham, supporting our campaign! 🏆🏀🍫 It’s a blessing to have OC’s basketball star in our corner, holding the message loud and clear.

Together with Tony’s Chocolonely, we’re shooting for a world with fair, slave-free chocolate—because champions fight for change on and off the court.

Let’s make every bite matter, join us in the fight for fair chocolate and help make every bite slave-free!

Eagle PR's Megan Chambers did a fantastic job representing our Chocolate Without Chains campaign at Taking Sides Chapel! We hope the audience took away some valuable insights and are inspired to create a world of Chocolate Without Chains!

Eagle PR and Taking Sides Chapel are partnering ] to raise awareness about fair labor practices and Eagle PR’s Chocolate Without Chains campaign, featuring Tony’s Chocolonely! Join us on Wednesday, Nov. 6, at 11 a.m. in Baugh Auditorium for the debate, "Should Christians feel obligated to purchase fair labor-produced products?” Hear perspectives from both sides, including an Eagle PR’s Megan Chambers. This is a debate you won’t want to miss.

Join Eagle PR in the Student Center on Oct. 30, Nov. 1, Nov. 5 and Nov. 8 from 11:20 a.m. to 1 p.m. to learn how you can fight for Chocolate Without Chains! in the cocoa industry! Discover how you can be part of the change, try some Tony’s Chocolonely, and learn how you can earn prizes for your club!

One of Tony's Chocolonely's sourcing principles is paying a higher price. Tony's bridges the gap between what farmers typically earn and the Living Income Reference Price, which farmers should be paid. This is another way Tony's Chocolonely Traces, Sustains, and Collaborates by ensuring farmers are paid fairly through the living income premium. Tony Needs YOU to fight for equitable pay!
