Thou hast been summoned to read the following post:
The most esteemed UGA PRSSA competition, by name of Bateman, is about to embark upon a new year.
If you are unfamiliar with the reference, please click here.
Five (or six) Lords and Ladies will be chosen to represent the Kingdom of Grady in what promises to be a most grueling and nail-biting competition.
Lady (Dr.) Sallot, this year’s advisor, has released the application today for all who wish to apply. Please review the following qualifications and expectations for those worthy enough to submit their applications.
Creative, energetic, hard working students who have sound critical thinking and problem-solving abilities and solid PR skills, especially writing, are ideal Bateman candidates. Familiarity with online communications is a plus. Ability to work in a group and on one’s own is essential, as is a good sense of humor. A good time will be had by all.
Grady PR majors who have completed all the requirements for ADPR 5950 Public Relations Campaigns (ADPR 3850, 3150, 3520, 5910, 5920) and who are paid-up members in good standing of UGA’s Drewry PRSSA Chapter are encouraged to apply. Applicants should complete and put a hard copy of this application by noon, Thursday, Sept. 18, in the “Bateman Box” outside Dr. Sallot’s office, 223-E.
Five undergraduate students will be selected after finalists from the team are interviewed by Dr. Sallot. Work on this campaign will begin in Fall 2008. Students selected for the team will register for ADPR 5950 in Dr. Sallot’s Spring 2009 section meeting Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:30-4:45 p.m., call # 38-146, although the team may choose to meet outside of class. Students who have already completed ADPR 5950 may apply for Bateman; if selected, they will register for ADPR 5170 Independent Study credit with Sallot for Spring 2009.
Bateman entries are due March 30, so coursework will finish early for the Bateman team. If selected as finalists nationally, team members must commit to being available to present in Washington, D. C. on May 14 and 15 (major expenses paid). More information is at: http://www.prssa.org/resources/bateman2009.asp
It is hereby decreed the race for the Bateman team has now begun! A heavy burden rests on the Bateman hopefuls to bring our school to the number one spot in the nation. A large pot of gold and livestock will be given to the winning teams. With budget cuts galore, the Grady Kingdom could use a little extra cush. Godspeed, brave ones.
