Our Group Project

I had a group project for the semester that was using PR to spread awareness about the NJSPCA.  Now that the semester is winding down, we are almost done with all of our final work, and watching everything come into effect. I definitely feel like we had to do a whole lot of work for the project, and it has been very stressful at times, it is well worth it in the end. 

I feel like now that I have had to do so much work for this project, and all of it relates to the concepts that we discussed in lessons throughout the class. Yes we get bookwork here and there, but once we had to relate these assignments to real life clients, I got a much better understand of what PR really is.  We are starting to see that some of our work is being published, and we also got some time slots on popular radio stations.  We have been emailing and calling all sorts of people, drafting and writing endless releases and documents, but it is rewarding to see that all of our hard work is actually doing some good.

I'm so used to having group projects and presentations that are about so much content, but nothing ever as real as this group project.  It is almost like it is a job, and it is seriously real life.  It is definitely a good start to a career in this field.
