Great show. I have been listening to each show one by one, slowly but surely. I just wanted to pitch Mount Saint Vincent University’s new Masters in Public Relations programs being offered this year. It is certainly a step towards raising the profile of our industry. http://www.msvu.ca/programs/MPR-MA.asp

Thanks for the advice, and good luck for all your future shows.

Wow, nothing like a big old ego stroke to make my morning commute through the cold wet rain a bit more bearable. Thanks for all the kind words and yet another great show.

Good show, guys. Especially interesting was your higher ed PR education discussion.

The trade aspect is something that certainly is discussed a lot. The goal, of course, is to provide a student with a sound liberal arts and business foundation to build upon after graduation. Extra-curricular activities, like multiple internships and work experiences, are key to a successful program, IMO.

The truly successful program will involve strong practitioner and business leader participation with the students. This is where I think social media has the greatest potential for PR education. I hope you will encourage that practice in discussions with your fellow PR leaders. I’m thinking – online mentoring.
