Class Speaker

Sorry it has been a while. Midterms and Spring Break have made these past few weeks a little crazy. I finally got through midterms and things have slowed down a little bit.

We had a really interesting speaker in our Writing for PR class on Monday. His name is Reed Dickens and he was the former assistant Press Secretary for President Bush. He was assistant Press Secretary before he was thirty. He has some really interesting insight into the world of communications. Dickens explained his idea that everyone finds out everything eventually so you are better off telling the truth from the beginning. He also talked about crisis communications and how it is always important to be transparent and timely when dealing with a crisis situation.

This is just one example of the amazing speakers we get a chance to hear at Chapman. They give out great advice and are a great resource when learning about PR. We have a lot of awesome speakers like Reed Dickens that come in all the time. Its one thing I have found really useful by going to Chapman.
