The University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism & Mass Communication will host the "Edelman Digital Bootcamp" for public relations students and educators from throughout the Southeast.
Edelman, the world's leading independent public relations firm, seeks to provide students and educators hands-on skills integration training about the professional use of new media.
Bootcamp participants will break into teams and Edelman practitioners will direct them in a mock campaign. Students will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with Edelman facilitators to research, design and implement a social media solution for the assigned client. This approach will allow students to network with professionals while also gaining hands-on experience.
An additional track will be available to educators, focused more on sharing ideas and encouraging the adoption of new media in more communication curriculums throughout the Southeast. Educators will have the opportunity to discuss the practicalities of teaching new media, share lesson plans and more.
Edelman intends to expand its Digital Bootcamp to other college campuses across the nation in what they hope will become an annual event.
