Letter to my Cousin

Dear Kerstin,

I hope that this letter finds you in good health and spirits. Are you enjoying your college experience? I am still attending Utah State University and I am majoring in journalism and communications with an emphasis in public relations. You may be surprised to hear that public relations is my area of study, mainly because I have told you that I am set on attending law school. Public relations is, however, a good stepping stone to my law career.
As you know, I want to study media and entertainment law. In order to be successful in that career, I need to be able to communicate. The classes that I am taking in my public relations program teach me how to communicate effectively. Public relations is essentially unpaid advertising for a product, company, person or issue. A public relations representative strives to create and promote a positive image for their employer and foster good relationships with clients, constituents, consumers, etc. My public relations classes also teach me how to gather and utilize research; this is a skill that will be beneficial to me in my career.
I hope this insight into my scholastic endeavors was interesting to you. Good luck in your studies.

Love,

Cami

  1. Cami,
    I like that you not only talked about PR, but that you mentioned what you plan on doing in the PR profession. I think that you simplified the definition of PR really well.
