For the second year running, I’ve had the pleasure of teaching a social media course to the PR students at McMaster University in Hamilton. Like the first time, the class is a diverse group that includes both recent grads who are completing their PR certificates, and working communicators in their 30s and 40s looking to upgrade their skills and familiarize themselves with some of new tools.
While it’s a bit of a schlep from Toronto to Hamilton early on a Saturday morning, I always look forward to the discussion and questions and watching the students find their voices and and gain an understanding of the medium.
The blog topics are written with personality and passion and include: advice your mom never gave you, looking at one’s community through the eyes of a tourist, making the move from renter to home buyer, culinary delights, hard-hitting commentary on the NFL and lots more.
So without further ado, here they are…
