Cathy Dunkin
Cathy Dunkin, Lecturer in Business Communications at Olin, will be honored for her outstanding career in public relations next month at the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) 2016 International Conference in Indianapolis, IN.
The PRSA announced the election of 23 new members into the organization’s prestigious College of Fellows, an honorary organization within PRSA comprised of more than 350 senior practitioners and educators, each of whom has left a significant footprint on the public relations #profession.
Election to the College, which was created in 1989 as part of an initiative focused on the future of public relations, is considered the pinnacle of a professional’s career.
College members are seen throughout PRSA and the profession serving in chapter, district, section, and national leadership positions; mentoring students and professionals; teaching; and engaging in professional practice.
To qualify for admittance into the College of Fellows, the public relations practitioner or educator must have at least 20 years of experience, hold the Accredited in Public Relations (APR) credential, and have demonstrated exceptional capability and accomplishment in the practice of teaching of public relations. Fewer than two percent of PRSA members are accepted in the College of Fellows.
The new Fellows will be formally inducted into the College at a dinner to be held Oct. 22, immediately prior to the PRSA 2016 International Conference in Indianapolis, IN.
Congratulations, Cathy!
