PRSSA President goes to London

PRSSA President Rebecca Alsup recently returned from a study abroad trip to London. The trip was afforded to her by the Jerald Ogg Scholarship and the Communications Department. Rebecca is a Public Relations major at UT Martin and the purpose of her trip was to attend London Metropolitan and report back to UT Martin the similarities and differences of the PR programs offered at each school. Other than comparing the two programs Rebecca also had to lay the ground work for the ment where they exchange one student each semester to attend classes at the other school. This would help broaden the PR program at both schools. Forget all work and no play, in her spare time Rebecca was able to do sight seeing, learn of London’s history, and she also was able to do a day long internship with Heat Magazine. Rebecca feels that this experience helped improve her leadership skills ant taught her more about how her major can apply in different places.
