Connect with the PR industry.
Work with real clients on campaigns designed and executed by students. Past and current clients include: Alpine Canada, Invictus Games, CivicAction, Genwell, City Scouts Camp, Top 40 Under 40 Alumni (many of the communications plans for these clients win student awards with local professional associations).
