A reason to Blog - Starting a Masters Program
My friend Cary Knauff started a blog when he went back to school to become a German teacher, you can view it here: http://onbecomingagermanteacher.blogspot.com/ . I think he started the blog because he had to, but he seems to have gotten something out of it. So, I am totally copying him.
I recently began classes in pursuit of my MA in Public Relations Management from IUPUI. More specifically, SPORTS Public Relations Management. Having had my last college course in 2002, I am extremely excited to be harnessing my inner Rodney Dangerfield by going BACK TO SCHOOL! Does that reference age me? Perhaps.
I began my two classes this past Monday. The first of the two classes is a pre-requisite undergraduate class; Introduction to Public Relations. I take it at Purdue University which is extra convenient seeing as I work at Purdue, and live in Lafayette. This class allows me to start from the start. It will give a general overview of PR, obviously.
The other class is a graduate level course offered at IUPUI entitled Business of Sports Media and Promotions. I have always had a strong interest in the sports business, and been involved with sports on various levels since I was a youngster. Professionally I have worked in sports video production for the NBA, WNBA, NCAA, IHSAA, and others. The experiences of being involved with sports on various levels is what ultimately lead me to the decision to pursue a career in the sports business. Business of Sports Media and Promotions class promises to be a very intriguing and interesting learning opportunity for me and I can't wait to get deep into the curriculum.
So, now that I have made it through matriculation, please check in occasionally to be updated on my findings, learnings, and musings as I embark on this Sports and Public Relations journey.
