School Year 2012-13

Hello everyone,

I wanted to take a second and explain why I do this whole blogging thing. I have been writing this blog for more than two years. It has been an incredible experience for me to be able to tell you about what life is like around these parts. Ultimately, I don't want to convince you to come to this school, even though I love it, I would rather re-affirm your feelings about Mercyhurst and help ensure that you are making the right choice. Therefore, I encourage all of you to please contact me if you have any questions and to read our other student blogger pages, which can be found here.

As for life, it's only September, but it feels like November! I am so excited to be the President for the Mercyhurst Chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America. We have about 15 active members, most in club history, and are off to a great and productive start.

Already, we have the plans in place to host a Speed Networking event, which is the equivalent to speed dating, but with professionals. We have nine committed professionals from advertising, marketing, public relations, journalism and broadcasting. I'll post pictures after we host the event, but I am REALLY excited!

You may remember from last year, but we are also again working on the "Frozen Putt-A-Thon." This is where we dig out a miniature golf course in the middle of winter and create a winter fest like event. We started planning this past week, so I'm already really excited for January.

That's all I got for now.

Thanks for reading!
Joe

Welcome back!

Hello everyone!

I know you have been waiting on edge, so I am so sorry to have kept you waiting! Another year is off and running at Mercyhurst University, and I have wasted no time getting right back into it (cough cough... busy).

This year we have welcomed in the Class of 2016, one of the largest classes in school history, along with the introduction of the new Center for Academic Engagement and a completely renovated Student Union.

As for me, I am currently working very hard as the president of the Mercyhurst Chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America and the Mercyhurst Chapter of the National Broadcasting Society. Both completely different organizations, but very near and dear to my heart.

If you are still following me from last year, hopefully you are now at Mercyhurst or are a year out and still excited to come to Mercyhurst. For anyone new, welcome to my blog. I try my best to give you a piece of what Mercyhurst University is like from a student prospective, but more specifically, as a Communication student. Keep checking back for more details!

Thanks for reading!
Joe
