Seven students from the College of Arts and Sciences and the Pamplin School of Business visited Edelman PR firm on Friday, April 19th in downtown Portland. A panel of Edelman public relations professionals shared insights about the agency (voted the #1 privately held PR firm and one of the 100 best companies to work for in Oregon), the different facets of today’s public relations industry as well as qualities that make a great intern. Students also learned that one of the major benefits of working in a smaller big agency office is greater diversification in experience!
