What's been happening?
- First off, I've met a lot of interesting people in my classmates and my professors.
- I've been thrown into an environment that I can only compare to high school! I mean, there are lockers in the hallways! Not to mention, full days of classes with the same small group, and small assignments that basically serve for nightly homework. But I'm not complaining. It has me learning a lot and in a short amount of time.
- I've been listening to lectures whose topics are real to me and actually interest and excite me (somewhat different from my experience with some university classes which were more theoretical and nap inducing)
- I've been listening to and getting to know guest speakers who've been in the PR industry and have valuable experiences to share.
- Lastly, I'm working and will work on amazingly interesting and fun assignments (including work on this blog and the programs blog at http://pratmohawk.blogspot.com, work with twitter, and fund raising).
- I've been accepted into the Canadian Public Relations Society and their Mentorship program. I just recently met my mentor at their orientation event along with all the other individuals involved in the program. It was a great experience minus the part where my name tag wouldn't stick to my blazer and chose my hair instead. I'm sure I made a great impression for the 30 seconds it took to pull it embarrassingly out of my hair. Anyway, I plan on talking with my mentor a great deal over the next couple of months and I'm really excited about the program.
- I've gotten an internship with the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA. I start this Friday and hopefully I'll get to help out with many an interesting job there!
As more interesting things happen in the program, you can expect my commentary on them to appear in this blog!
