The PR Dream Team responsible for "Mean in Green" had the awesome opportunity to travel to Flagler College in St. Augustine to present some of our ideas to the sports marketing classes and the PRSSA chapter about how we have been able to incorporate PR into the athletics program at Georgia College. In addition to all of the memories and inside jokes that were a result of our trip, we learned a lot just by having the opportunity to present and share what we've been doing with other people who are interested in the same thing. Flagler's PRSSA chapter also had a lot of ideas for us to take home and make our own, including a great idea to have a student run PR firm responsible for doing some non-profit PR work. As a class, we have been talking about some ideas and some of us are very interested in developing the same type of program at our school. This was our first chance to take our hard work to the next level and have a professional day to make a presentation and really go over all the great things we've accomplished the past semester.
It was also really neat to tour the Flagler campus and do some sightseeing while we were there. We had breakfast on the beach one morning, and even though it was chilly, we walked out to the ocean and got to take a few pictures before our meeting with the PRSSA chapter. My favorite part of the trip was touring the PGA Tour Productions studio, where we got to see how a lot of the visuals and special effects are done for the broadcasts of the Tour. It was really neat to see all of that put into action, especially since I work at a golf course and am usually right in the middle of all the golf action that happens throughout the season.
I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to go with the Dream Team and grow closer as a class and as a team. It was definately a memorable and helpful experience!
