Fall class – sports and public relations

Behind every successful athlete there is . . .  a successful PR rep. Tom Brady probably has a team of them working for him right now.
 
Please let students know that ADV 490 – a special topics class has a section that is Sports PR.
Sports PR  is open to all  undergrads – they don’t have to be put off by the 400 level  number.
The course will present students with an overview of public relations in the sports industry, including historical development and current issues facing practitioners.
This course is ideally suited for those students with an interest in sports, an interest in PR,  . . . or just an interest.
Full 3 hour course and qualifies as a PR Certificate requirement.
 
The course wasn’t “live” during early registration. Please help alert your students to this great option.
Best,
Julian
