University of Maryland PR Students to Run Lecture Series Event

Here’s a great one that we missed last week: as more industry organizations continue to partner with schools in the interest of teaching young people the hands-on, real-world applications of the public relations skill set, The University of Maryland‘s PR department has put event management responsibilities into its students’ hands.

This is no small get-together, either: it’s the Sixth Annual Grunig Lecture Series, set to take place on October 30th. Organized by the Institute for Public Relations and the Council of Public Relations Firms, it will feature Fleishman-Hilliard president/CEO and CPR chair Dave Senay leading a series of conversations on the theme “Ethics As Culture”—and it will all be managed by a group of 10 university PR majors who go by “the Grunig team.”
