Get involved with the Lindsey + Asp Agency!
|
Agency Leadership Academy, JMC 4970-340 Calling all public relations underclassmen! This is your opportunity to jump start your Lindsey + Asp experience! Consider enrolling in the summer Leadership Academy. This course is open to everyone, but focused specifically on underclassmen. There are no prerequisites. You'll learn about Agency operations and leadership and working on the Agency's critical clients over the summer.
One of the special events that only happens during the Leadership Academy is the weekly lecture series. Each week, students have the opportunity to talk with, either in person or via Skype, some of the top names in the business. Last year's roster of speakers included John Paluszek, Senior Counsel, Ketchum and Ron Culp, then Partner and Lead, North American operations, Ketchum. The formal course is held during the July block, but you'll get started working with clients in late May.
Applications for Leadership Academy may be obtained from Kathy Sawyer and Prof. Pritchard. The Leadership Academy is NOT required to participate in the Agency for Fall 2012.

The agency is also accepting applications for the Fall semester for both the advertising and public relations teams.
