Special guests discuss entrepreneurship mindset with AdPR students

In March, the Advertising and Public Relations Department had two special guests visit us: Cheryl Procter-Rogers, senior consultant of A Step Ahead PR Consulting and Coaching, and Kevin Johnson, founder and president of Johnson Media Inc.

Procter-Rogers and Johnson provided AdPR students with an entrepreneurship and leadership panel in Studio 100 of Grady College. In addition to the panel, each visited AdPR classes.
