| Lindsey + Asp/Summer and Leadership Academy are great opportunities for all PR and Advertising majors |
The summer Leadership Academy and Lindsey + Asp/Summer are great ways to expand your expertise in strategic communication: advertising and public relations. The Leadership Academy is intended to do just what the name says: equip you for leadership in Lindsey + Asp--and later in the advertising or public relations venue of your choice.
Lindsey + Asp/Summer allows you to work with real-world clients. In fact, two clients of national and regional importance will need the agency to carry on their work during the summer months. There will be field trips, including a possibility to Kansas City for advertising students...and guest lectures from professionals. Both the Academy and Lindsey + Asp/Summer are relatively small groups so you'll have the full attention of both Lindsey + Asp advisers and our guest professionals. This is also a genuine resume "hit" especially if you're at the point in your education where it's too soon to have an outside internship.
If you're a PR student wanting information on the summer opportunities, see Professor Pritchard. If you're an advertising student, see Professor Tarpenning. Both offices are in Lindsey + Asp.
