Two months from today we will be walking across the graduation stage in the center of Shaurt field moving our tassel from one side of our cap to the other. Our diploma in hand, we will turn and face the next stage of our lives. We have taken all of the classes, completed all of our internships, and applied for jobs (and are hopefully employed); it is clear that so much is changing, but somehow, everything is staying almost exactly the same.
Two months from today, we will no longer be PR students at Hofstra, but public relations professionals out in the real world. Rather than learning in a classroom, we will be learning as we go. As we step off of the stage, we step into a new chapter with a new eagerness to learn and a deep excitement to put our well-earned diploma to work. We are fully aware that the learning never stops in the world of public relations, but the teachers and surroundings simply change. We are stepping into a new classroom, with a new goal, and a new drive. We have everything we need to be the best PR professionals we can be, and with the toss of a cap, we are given the chance to prove ourselves.
