PR Start by Nick Lucido

I’d be lying to you if I said I went to Chicago this weekend just for a conference. I’ve been itching to get back since I left last August, and since DePaul PRSSA was hosting Chicago PR: Get in the Loop, I figured it was the perfect time to come back. Overall, I’m extremely impressed [...]

Sometimes, I forget I’m still a student. The next month is one of those times. I’ll be attending and speaking at some upcoming PRSSA events in Chicago, Pittsburgh, East Lansing, Mich. and Austin. My posts might few and far between this month in trying to keep up with these events, my school work and other [...]

Though I don’t consider myself a lucky person, I really landed the jackpot nearly one year ago when I applied for and received the Daniel J. Edelman/PRSSA award. The award contains a monetary scholarship as well as a three-month internship in one of Edelman‘s U.S. offices. For a broke college kid, that’s pretty much the [...]

During the past week, I’ve been in San Diego for the PRSSA National Conference. It was an incredible week of catching up with my fellow students, learning and professional development. One of the great pieces out there that include a recap from both the PRSSA and PRSA Conference is from the San Diego News Network, [...]

The past couple of weeks have been pretty hectic as I’ve been prepping for the PRSSA National Conference in San Diego. I fly out tomorrow and will be there for the next week.

Make sure to check out her blog [...]

Last week, I packed my bags and took some time off work to attend a retreat for the newly elected for the PRSSA National Committee. Besides learning so much and getting close to nine other people I’ll be working with during the next year, I also learned an important lesson. Getting to know people in [...]

Two things have been keeping me away from blogging: moving to Chicago and applying for Teahan awards for the MSU PRSSA Chapter. Our group had a particularly great year, so one of the things we did to recap the year was put together a video. The highlights: -We were names Outstanding Professional Student Organization of [...]

During the past couple of weeks, I wrote a series of posts on how to prepare for PR in college. The advice was directed at a hypothetical freshmen about to enter PR studies in college, though the advice can be applied to different parts of a career in the field. Now, I want to write [...]

I’m writing a four-part blog post on how to have a successful collegiate career for those interested in public relations. I’m basing this largely off my own experiences (a lot of what I’m including reflects what I wish I would have done during college, particularly in my early years) and those in my network. Please [...]
