BIO
In June, 2007, Regina Bell joined the Department of Communication Studies to manage the Public Relations Major. With a rewarding career in public relations, Regina enjoys sharing her passion and expertise with the students. She also enjoys advising students in a one-on-one setting in University College.

To augment the Public Relations Program, Regina has implemented the Public Relations Summit where high-profile business leaders speak to students in an informal setting. As a result of the Summit, students have secured internships and full-time employment within the realm of Public Relations. In addition to this lecture series, Regina implemented The Big Idea Group, a student-run PR agency on campus.

Since the Public Relations Program continues to evolve, Regina developed and gained approval for the addition of three additional courses: Introduction to Public Relations (PRS100); Introduction to Event Management (PRS200) and Strategic Media Communication (PRS442). The courses have been favorably received by the students. Lastly, she conducted a needs assessment to establish curriculum mapping to support the needs of this growing program.
