The CPRS (Canadian Public Relations Society) Toronto chapter awarded its annual ACE Awards on May 4 and Centennial College PR students once again swept the student category winning two awards for “Student PR Communications Plan of the Year.”
It always seems so weird to me to make a big deal with good-bye’s at the end of semester. I feel in many ways this is just the beginning, even thought it’s the end of your time here with us, your faculty over the past eight months. Someone once told me, in the early days of parenting, that the days are long but the weeks are fast. That’s how it feels with each academic year.
What can I say about the last 2 semesters here at Centennial College? To keep it short, simply rewarding! The Corporate Communications and Public Relations program (#CCPR) is exactly the type of experience that I wanted when I applied for this one-year post-graduate certificate.
Here at Centennial, we like to give our students real experience so they feel comfortable and ready when they leave our program and enter the workforce. It gets them used to dealing with real clients, real journalists, real vendors, real deadlines and real challenges.
Before coming to Centennial College for the corporate communications and public relations program, I had no idea what to expect. Although all of the rumours were true — the group work, the tough work load, some late nights and early mornings — the experience so far at Centennial has been rewarding, exciting and incredibly valuable.
All I can say is wow – what a ride! I feel like I blinked and first semester is already over. The past 14 weeks of this intensive post-graduate program have been a roller coaster.
The Pickering Learning Site is small, we’re only a class of 11 people. But being a small number of people does not mean that our passion is small. The 11 of us formed three groups each passionate about our charities.
I personally came to Public Relations and Corporate Communications program after a long soul searching journey. I knew I needed to find a career that would pay my bills, but I also knew I needed to find something that I enjoyed doing.
Students of Centennial College’s post-graduate Public Relations and Communications certificate program once again took top honours at the Canadian Public Relations Society Ace Awards held last night in Toronto, winning six awards in various categories.
Eight months, 70 students, one event, two placemats, one business plan, five Vines, a few videos, and countless other assignments and it all concludes tomorrow. Classes that is. It’s not the end, but just the beginning.
