Thinking Ahead for a moment...
Planning ahead is an important element of your time here at Missouri State--and beyond. So, here are some things you might be thinking about and CAN do something about. 
1) Have you ever thought about attending Graduate School? Have you wondered what it's all about? In September, we had a session during COM week about that, and here's another opportunity to learn more about grad school from the students themselves. Next Monday at 12:00 noon in Craig 337 there will be a panel discussion of graduate students talking about their life as students. Come hear what they have to say. This will be a brownbag lunch discussion, so bring your lunch and water, coffee, and assorted desserts will be provided.
2) Are you interested in taking Communication classes in summer 2008? In the coming weeks on the blog, I will provide you a link to take a short survey regarding classes and times for the summer session so that we can gauge level of need and interest in summer COM courses. Link to that survey coming soon!
3) Thinking about a spring internship in public relations? How about spending a whole semester in St. Louis? Consider this:
PUBLIC RELATIONS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM Intern Handout 5-2007.pdf
Fleishman-Hillard is an international, full-service public relations firm with headquarters in St. Louis. For 20 years, the Fleishman-Hillard St. Louis office has offered college students and recent graduates the opportunity to gain valuable, practical public relations experience through its internship program. The Fleishman-Hillard St. Louis internship program offers three sessions: spring, summer, and fall. While at Fleishman-Hillard, interns have the opportunity to work with staff members to develop and execute media campaigns; write news releases, research papers, media pitch letters and other correspondence; participate in new business opportunities; and coordinate events.
Although interns are assigned to work with specific groups and accounts, they are exposed to many facets of the firm. Practice areas in the St. Louis office are: Corporate Communications • Investor Relations • Marketing • Healthcare and Environmental • Public Affairs • Employee Communications
Interns are paid on an hourly basis and are competitive within the industry and the St. Louis market. Interns work from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and usually have opportunities for overtime. In addition, the company pays for parking.
Winter/Spring: January – May (application deadline: November 1)

Final question of the day: This your time to give me feedback...
Would you like to have another networking activity similar to the COM Week Alumni Networking Luncheon in the Spring semester?
