New Course - Public Relations for the Public Sector
 
Do you expect a notice about a snow emergency or school closing to be sent to you by text, over the radio, by e-mail, on the television, and as a voice mail to your land line and cell phone?  Then Public Relations for the Public Sector may be for you.  
 
Effective communication is a critical skill for current and future public sector leaders.  Technology and culture have dramatically changed how people communicate and expect to be communicated with.  Public Relations in the Public Sector will provide students with the essential tools for effective communication in their chosen professions in the public or private sectors.
 
This Fall 2010 term course meets elective requirements for students in the MPA and MNM program.  It is offered Mondays at the St. Paul campus.
