Round of Applause for Pritch!!!

 Congratulations to Professor Pritchard who has been selected as the 2011 - 2013 National Faculty Advisor for the Public Relations Student Society of America.
This was a competitive process involving an application and interview with the national student officers who comprise the PRSSA National Committee. The National Faculty Advisor is a counselor to the National Committee and assists in setting and achieving the goals and objectives for PRSSA each year. His term begins in June at the PRSSA National Assembly. This is a testament to Professor Pritchard's standing in the PRSA/PRSSA community and a key appointment that will bring added visibility and recognition to the growing PR program at Gaylord. |
Book Discussion Club

Wednesday, Dec. 10
Noon
Lindsey & Asp conference room
The Branding Group will read Grant McCracken's
"Transformations: Identity Construction in Contemporary Culture".
From Amazon: Self reinvention has become a preoccupation of contemporary culture. In the last decade, Hollywood made a 500-million-dollar bet on this idea with movies such as Multiplicity, Fight Club, eXistenZ, and Catch Me If You Can. Self reinvention marks the careers of Madonna, Ani DiFranco, Martha Stewart, and Robin Williams. The Nike ads of LeBron James, the experiments of New Age spirituality, the mores of contemporary teen culture, and the obsession with "extreme makeovers" are all examples of our culture's fixation with change. In a time marked by plenitude, transformation is one of the few things these parties have in common. Although transformation is widely acknowledged as a defining characteristic of our culture, we have almost no studies on what it is or how it works. Transformations offers the first comprehensive and systematic view. It is an ethnography of the contemporary world.
