Woodruff is a pioneer for women in the media. Her career spans more than 40 years covering politics and serving as Washington correspondent for NBC, CNN and PBS.

Due to federal budget cuts, the Department of Defense has chosen to "not" renew the media training contract. Therefore, we will not be conducting any additional trainings until there is a balance/approved Federal budget with funds for Military training, and the Department of Defense renews our contract.

To all the students and faculty who have participated in previous trainings - THANK YOU!!

Dr. Charles Self and Paula Hewitt

Gain an international perspective and understanding for how advertising works outside of the U.S. The Gaylord College has offered a course in international advertising in 10 out of the past 11
years. We will likely offer the class again this year. The course will be led by Professor Jim Avery.

Overview:    This class is intended to give advertising, public relations, design and marketing students a view of how professional communication works internationally.

Location:    Part of the study will be at the University of Oklahoma.  The remainder will take place in either Asia or Europe: 

• Asia:  Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Macau, and Hong Kong
• Europe:  Budapest, Frankfurt, and London. 

The class will visit advertising agencies, public relations firms and potentially some marketing firms in the region of choice.  There will be time for students to visit some sites of their choice.
