Coming to the End of Semester

As this semester draws to a close, I began thinking about all that I have accomplished in ADPR 181. I must say, this class has challenged me to stretch all of my Public Relations skills putting together the client portfolio. Overall, I believe this portfolio was a positive experience. I have put together PR pieces that I never have before, and it was a great experience. Working with Our Next Generation has been a rewarding experience, both in the sense of accomplishing this project, but also in the sense that it has opened my eyes to those not as fortunate. Our Next Generation strives to serve the urban youth of Milwaukee through educational programs. Meeting some of the students that attend ONG, along with working with Michelle Schuerman, the marketing director, has been an experience that I greatly enjoyed. Hopefully, the portfolio I have put together reflects the enjoyment I have gotten out of the experience.

I have been thinking back on this experience too as I have been assembling my portfolio and others for other classes. While it was a lot of hard work and sometimes difficult to contact the client, I believe in the end all of the work from this class will genuinely help us in the future if not solely to show prospective employers what we are capable of. This class, along with one other I took this semester, actually leave me feeling prepared to go into job interviews and show that I have done something and can produce work, not only for a large group project, but on my own which we will for sure be doing in the workplace.
