Thanks for the link, Eric. Our students get a pretty good mix of theory and practice during their 2 years as PR majors, but Campaigns class is our capstone course where they have to put it all together — last chance to work supervised by a prof instead of a boss. I hope the good habits they learn in school help on the job.
