@jorgeramosnews, an internationally acclaimed #journalist and alumnus of @univmiami, has created an endowed #scholarship to support #students in the School of Communication.

“It is important to support journalists like me,” Ramos said. “Many, many people helped me when I came to this country and helped me thrive in this country. Among them, many teachers and students at the University of Miami. Now, it’s my time to give back.”

30 undergraduate students from across the country

30 undergraduate students from across the country recently spent an extended weekend in #California participating in this year’s highly selective Santa Barbara International Film Festival Film Studies Program. Jules Crosby, a #MotionPictures major in the #screenwriting track, was chosen for this experience where he was granted access to the festival’s screenings, panels, seminars, and other experiential events that provided learning and #networking opportunities outside of the classroom. @umsoc provided funding in support of Crosby’s representation of the school in the #Film Studies Program. 🎥

On the last day of #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re celebrating #BlackExcellence in the field of #PublicRelations.

The world of #PR was transformed by the “Father of Public Relations,” Joseph Varney Baker. Baker emerged at a time when there were very few Black #PRProfessionals, but that didn’t stop him from having a groundbreaking #career as the founder of the first Black #PRFirm.

His legacy and innovative thinking paved the way for many professionals in the industry, including @latoyasevans, Chief Communications Officer of @thelepragency, to pursue successful careers in #StrategicCommunications.

Evans boasts an impressive resume having worked in #MediaRelations and communications for #brands like IBM, Walmart, Cisco, Compass Group, and more. Her 15+ years in the field demonstrate her dedication to creating and maintaining positive relationships between her clients and the public.
