Donn James Tilson, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Advertising and Public Relations

Dr. Tilson holds a Ph.D. from Stirling University in Scotland. He is an accredited member of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). He has served as a public relations manager for BellSouth and as past president and national assembly delegate of the Miami chapter of PRSA and 2005 national chair of PRSA's International Professional Interest Section.

In 1998, he was inducted in PRSA's College of Fellows, a "hall of fame" for practitioners and educators who "have demonstrated superior capability, exhibited personal and professional qualities as a role model, and advanced the state of the profession." Since the inception of the College in 1988, less than two percent of PRSA's almost 20,000 members have been so honored.

His research interests include international corporate public relations, particularly in Latin America and Europe, and religious tourism. His work has appeared in journals in London, Madrid, and South Africa. He has served as a Visiting Scholar at the Universidad Complutense in Madrid and the Universidades Industrial and Autonoma in Barcelona. His book, Toward the Common Good: Perspectives in International Public Relations (Allyn & Bacon), one of the few books on the subject, was published in October 2003.
