The Grady College of Journalism and Mass
Communication dedicated the Peyton Anderson Forum on Dec. 2 in Athens.

Made possible by grants of $500,000 from the
Peyton Anderson Foundation and additional funds from Tom and Edwina Johnson,
the forum has proven to be the hub of all activity for the Advertising and
Public Relations department throughout the fall semester of 2015.

The beautifully crafted and furnished forum was
home to a Creative Consultants bootcamp on research by Yan Jin, associate
professor of public relations at UGA. Students were able to push together
chairs in the forum to interact as teams and learn more about research for
their potential clients.
The department also hosted a very successful
AdPR Week with a line-up of speakers from around the country. Grady College
came together from Sep. 28 to Oct. 2 to hear from the well-renowned advertising
and public relations community; most of which activity occurred in the forum.
From roundtables with executives, to one-on-ones
with professors, to elaborate group work, the Peyton Anderson Forum has proven
to be the ideal space for Grady students to learn and grow. The AdPR department
is excited for another great semester in the spring of 2016, and also for the
potential that this space has to offer.
