Members of the Public Relations/Business Club and their faculty adviser Dean Beckman, chair of the Department of Communication, recently attended the PR North conference, hosted by the Minnesota Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America.
The conference included panel discussions and breakout sessions from professionals in the corporate, agency, and non-profit sectors of communications. The keynote presentation was from Dr. Cindra Kamphoff, performance management expert and author of the book “Beyond Grit,” who provided tips and advice on the power of positive thinking and a winning mindset. The students also met Saint Mary’s alumna Karina (Rajtar) Wiatros ’10, a senior account executive at Maccabee Public Relations in Minneapolis.
