Hosted by the East Alabama chapter of the PRCA and held at Auburn University, the annual conference culminated in a Medallions Awards Gala, honoring both professionals and students for their work in the field.UAB’s winning students brought home four Medallion Awards, six Awards for Excellence and six Awards of Merit. The Medallion Award is the highest honor given at the event; UAB received one last year.
“These students have worked incredibly hard to complete the public relations curriculum over the last two years,” said Jacque Shaia, director of the Public Relations program. “These awards, from a nationally recognized organization such as PRCA, recognize the professional quality of the work of these students and virtually assure them of good jobs and success in this field. It has been my pleasure to work with these talented young professionals. I am very proud of them.”
