Spring Game

I got the chance to soak up some sunshine, while watching the Aggie football players go head to head in their sping game. The weather was beautiful and the Aggie's gave the crowd a show with lots of big plays. There were around 5,000 fans in attendence. I think everyone is curious to see the new coach and a little more about his style of play. I'm excited for the coming season and hopefully we can pull out some wins this year!

PR Conference

I attended the PR Conference on campus this past Monday and was very impressed. The conference was put on by PRSSA, a student lead association. Student's came up with the ideas, went out in the community to get sponsors and did all the promoting. I attended the morning seesions and also lunch. My favorite session was the non-profit speaker from the Make A Wish Foundation. She was very informative and inspiring. I now want to pursue public relations in the non-profit industry. Good work everyone who worked the conference, it was great!

Special Olympics fights "R" word

I recently read an article that talked about how many foundations, mainly the Special Olympics, are trying to put a stop to people using the "R" word. They are currently working on a new campaign to spread awareness and hopefully put an end to the word. For one of my classes, I am currently doing a team project for the Special Olympics of Utah. I am curious to see what their campaign turns out like to compare. But back to the article. President Obama was doing a late night show with Jay Leno. They were bowling and apparently our president wasn't doing the best. He then proceeded to comment ...about how his bowling score was one belonging to the Special Olympics. I was very disappoint but think this happens a lot more than we think, the president doing it just made it more public. I hear the "R" almost daily and I think everyone should check themselves because it has become so frequent in our society. While doing a search for a picture to put with this article, I went to google images. I think put special olympics in the search box. My images came up along with related searchs. The "R" word was one of them ... that is really sad!
