In the public relations world, the Bateman Case Study Competition is legendary.Renowned since its inception in the 70s, the year-long project tests students’ abilities to plan, produce and execute a full-scale public relations campaign.This academic year marks ̽Ƶ’s first foray into the competition––an accomplishment that happens to coincide with the program being named an A-list schoolby PR News. CU’s contenders are competing against 370 PRSSA affiliated chapters, all respected public relations departments across the country.
Anna Ritz, president of CU’s Public Relations Student Society of America chapter, shared a picture of herself with her elderly grandfather. “I may not show symptoms or get sick,” she wrote, “but that doesn't mean he won't get sick.”
