Semester Begins Wednesday :: Our Hiatus Ends

8/10/2005 in Education, Marketing Communications by Robert

Summer is over - for us, at least. Fall semester begins on Wednesday. Look for many new visitors to MarcomBlog.

I’m happy about it. The summer was slim, to none, on student participation. Blame me, if you wish. Only six students were available for blogging and they focused most of their efforts on projects. I believe Fall will be much busier.

If you would like to to see some of their work, please check out these demo sites/blogs. The students were creating online applications for clients. They tested ideas in the sites below.

Thanks, Josh. We appreciate your involvement.

MarcomBlog is a collaborative effort between sixteen terrific public relations and marketing professionals and students in Auburn University’s Department of Communication and Journalism.

Our purpose: To actively involve students in conversations with practitioners from around the world. Blogs offer a unique opportunity for students to converse with professionals they never would have met before. Why not harness the power of CMS to bring people together. Think of this as part mentoring exercise by our contributors and part incubator for future PR/Marcom professionals.
