Thoughts on PRL 530 and PR agency
My name is Antoinette and I am a graduate student at Syracuse University. As I prepare to enter the professional world in a couple of months, I must admit that I’m very nervous, yet excited for what is in store for me. Before coming to Newhouse, I knew nothing about Public Relations, since my majors in undergrad were English and Africana Studies. But I’ve learned so much this past semester and I’m positive I will learn even more between now and May when I graduate.
I’m interested in learning about PR Agencies because I have repeatedly been told that if you don’t know exactly what direction you want to go in, then it will be ideal to start working in an agency (vs. corporate). Of course, this is the reason why I enrolled in this class. I need to know what agencies are all about, what makes it different from the corporate world and whether or not I can see myself working in that environment. So far, I’m very excited about my choice in enrolling in PRL 530. Professor Nardone seems very welcoming, friendly and funny and I know I’ll definitely be learning a lot from him and the other students who seem interesting based on their past internships and experiences. I know I wouldn’t be able to work in an environment where I did the same things every day, and it was very reassuring to learn that with agencies, there is always something new happening. I need excitement, I need a constant challenge, and so far, I think I’m on the right track with having an interest in agencies.
