Reflections on an amazing year of learning

It’s hard to believe that another group of students – our biggest ever graduating class – has started their field placements already.  It just seems like yesterday that we were in the CCC courtyard at the welcome corn roast getting to know each other.  Now, close to 50 new communications professionals are transitioning from the classroom to real world after an amazing year.  Capping off our excitement is news that two student groups have won ACE Awards from the Canadian Public Relations Society! We’ll know whether they’re gold, silver and bronze when we attend the annual Gala Awards Evening, always  one of the highlights of the year for Toronto’s PR community.   In our books, our students have all achieved Gold! We’re very proud of them.

We’re often asked about what makes our program so special. What differentiates us from the competition. We always say “speak to our students and graduates – they are our best ambassadors.”  To that end, we’d like to share some thoughts on the year gone by from selected student blogs.
