Blogging is only beginning to touch the surface of the public relations world, and it will only continue to become a necessity for PR practitioners. From the experiences I have gained from Robert’s classes in blogging, I feel like I have a “one-up” on many of the other students (in different schools) who are preparing to graduate in PR this semester. From what I have heard, Auburn University is only one of a couple of schools who are teaching the importance of blogging to students. It is imperative that Robert and classes within Auburn’s PR department continue teach the value and significance of blogging and what it can do for one’s career.

I commend all those who have taken the initiative to start the forward-moving site. This will be extremely resourceful for all of us in the public relations program and for those prospective students. I hope to see the site continue to gain contributors and to be a lasting success!

I think the website will be beneficial to seniors as well. I have visited the site several times and I plan to continue to do so. I am certainly not an expert in the PR field and I will take all the help I can get. Plus, I think that other students are a great resource to learn from. Thanks to Erin for taking the time to do this. I think that we will all benefit from it.

Coming from someone who was clueless on what the main idea of PR was before I enrolled in my main classes I think that this website is going to help out not only current students but also prospective students. I think that if I knew of this website before I applied for the major I would have definitly not have been as clueless and would have been more excited to get into the field of PR. Now, since I’m about to graduate, any advice I can get whether it comes from PR professionals or even my peers I take into consideration and appreciate it greatly.

Again, good job Erin not only on the website but also on your time management skills.

Erin again is an amazing example of what the public relations program is like here at Auburn. And after looking at the site, I feel that more Auburn students are going to know about our program after viewing this site. It really helps get the word out about public relations, and hopefully, it will help the rest of us when we get that inevitable question of, “So what is public relations anyway?” After reading this site and getting our questions answered, we should be able to fire back with a rapid and intelligent response. And through this website, we can all read and learn about different aspects of public relations and different experiences. I didn’t realize the depth of the field until I reached our case studies class. Now, even those beginner public relations students will have a place to go to learn more about what they are getting into.

Good job, and I look forward to hearing more from you.

I think this site is going to be a huge benefit to students who are looking into Public Relations as a major choice. I know when I first decided to declare Public Relations as my major my mom asked over and over “well, what is it you are going to do with this degree?” And my response was always “I don’t know,” and the truth is I didn’t know. I didn’t know all the opportunities Public Relations has to offer. I didn’t know the variety of job ventures that Public Relations entails. I feel though now as a senior that I am much more enlightened. I think that having this site available for students entering Public Relations will help them answer that questions of “what are you going to do with this degree” more effectively than “I don’t know.”

I didn’t even know that my classmates were working on this site, and it was a pleasant surprise to find myself browsing through all the different links. So kudos to all you guys and girls who are involved with this site. I know it will be a huge success, and help answer many unanswered questions we, as well as freshman, have about Public Relations. So, GOod luck to all of you!!

PS. Cute pics and bios all of you!
