What PR students should do over summer break
Summer may mean time off for students in other fields, but the sunny season is PR students’ opportunity to shine by building their personal brands.
So, what should they be doing during summer break? Below are a few things that came to my mind, but I’m hoping some of our PR pro friends will chime in with additional tips:
• Set short-term goals. For example, attend at least one professional industry networking event over the summer, or read industry blogs and/or articles and comment on at least one per week.
• Set long-term goals. Write them down, and prioritize them. For example, attend at least one industry professional networking event per semester, and/or get involved with an on-campus pre-professional organization (such as PRSSA or AMA).
