The Loveliest Village

For this week’s interview, I chose Mrs. Mary Jonhnson of Montgomery, Alabama. She graduated from Auburn University in December of 2001 with a degree in elementary education. She is now a stay-at-home mom to Porter, a beautiful 11 month old baby boy, who keeps her very entertained and busy. Before becoming a mom, she used her degree she obtained from Auburn and taught kindergarten and first grade at a number of different schools all over the state of Alabama. Some of the schools Mrs. Johnson has taught at are Warrior Academy, Crestline Elementary and St. James School. Listen as Mrs. Johnson shares with me the impact that Auburn had on her and her life.

Laura Murray, a senior in public relations at Auburn University, went to UGA on Saturday, March 1, 2008, to learn more about social media.

The conference was open to students of all levels in public relations or related fields. While there were mostly students from UGA, many Auburn students attended the event.

The students were divided into teams and worked on a campaign for various clients to get practical experience. These type of events are great ways for students to know what to expect once they enter the workforce.
