Your vote for the Teaching Award...

Congratulations to Professor Robert Pritchard on receiving the JayMac Teaching Award.
 | Kate McPherson and Collin Sims presented Professor Pritchard with the 2012 JayMac Teaching Award

Your comments about Pritch: "Pritch not only makes PR interesting to learn but he teaches how to apply what we learn in the classroom to the real world. He truly cares about his students and wants each of them to succeed!" "[Pritch is] always supportive, goes above and beyond for his students. Mentors students in the agency, arranges mentorships for OU's PRSSA as well as events for strat comm majors (like Top Jobs in the spring). He also takes students to tour agencies and learn more about agency life, which is an area neglected by our major." "Pritch goes above and beyond for every student. He makes a point to develop lasting relationships with all of his students and is constantly connecting them with industry leaders. He is without a doubt one of the best resources Gaylord College has to offer their students."
