By now you’ve heard all about the Regional Activity. The rotations, the speakers, the awesome etiquette lunch that will finally give you confidence at dinner meetings. And you may have heard about the Ben Bronstein Lecture in Ethics and Public Communications that will be held at the end of the Regional Activity.
Alright, sounds good. Now what exactly is the Bronstein Lecture?
Like its name suggests, the Bronstein Lecture was created to emphasize the importance of credibility, fairness and ethics in the public relations field.
This year’s lecture is entitled “The Public Relations Professional: The Conscience of the Organization?” and will be presented by Patricia Whalen of DePaul University. Whalen is a member of the Board of Ethics and Professional Standars of the Public Relations Society of America.
The annual series is sponsored by Ben Bronstein, a Penn State alumni and former he founding director of public relations at the Penn State College of Medicine and Hershey Medical Center.
Past lectures have included topics ranging from political campaigns to news ethics. We believe that this year’s speech with be a great one to help you focus on the building blocks of your professional career and ways of tackling difficult situations.
The event will be held in the Mitrani Lecture Hall (121 Sparks Building) starting at 3:30 p.m. and is open to all students.
