Testimonial:

• To me there is a fine art to doing Public Relations, and doing it well. Centennial not only prepped me for traditional PR, but also the changing times of PR. A variety of courses taught me about social media (before it is what we know today), how to craft pitches, speak on camera, and utilize my new found skills in the real world. My classmates were an added bonus, and continue to be friends and confidants today.
