Public Relations Majors to share their "know how" with a student not yet accepted in the PR Major. It is only natural for a Freshman or Sophomore to have questions about the pre-major courses and the application process to enroll in the PR Major. While a student can always meet with an advisor, it is always nice to chat with a peer.

If you are interested in pursuing the PR Major, why not consider participating in Connect Four? It is easy to get involved and promises to be a rewarding experience. Contact Regina Bell (rbell@mail.uri.edu) for additional information.
