As We Go On

            With the close of the semester comes the beginning of a whole new chapter, my last post, a full-time job, a new apartment, new (different) friends, and so many other new adventures. I never thought I was a fan of change, but as everything changes at once I am finding that not only am I open to the idea, but that I am beyond excited to enter the real world. Looking back at my time at Hofstra I can honestly say that there isn’t anything that I would change.

            So, Hofstra Public Relations department I would like to say thank you. Thank you for preparing me to enter the professional world confident rather than scared. Thank you for introducing me to some of my best friends. Thank you for a great four years. I’m a little nervous, a little anxious, and a lot excited, but I guess the time I never thought would come is finally here. I know it’s not goodbye to my life at Hofstra, so I’ll just say, Hofstra I’ll see you soon.

Hey Good Lookin'

Walking around campus we see a variety of people practicing non-verbal public relations. Clubs and teams create t-shirts representing their organization. A plain or unflattering design is never and will never be seen. It is highly frowned upon, and therefore essentially an unspoken law that one of the most important forms of PR in college is that of t-shirt creation in order to keep a positive image on campus. Be it a sorority with clever lyrics and Greek letters or the Student Government Association with a creative picture and acronym, people will judge an organization based on their original attire.

The college t-shirt is the equivalent to the chic black ensemble for a public relations professional. As we graduate college we graduate from the colorful block lettered t-shirts to a fashionable professional wardrobe. Still sending the same non-verbal message and being judged in the same manner.
