OUT IN THE COMMUNITY

Last Tuesday, Lenita Wesson participated in the “Media Meet and Greet” YEA! panel at the Perdue School of Business.  The panel served as an opportunity for participating students to network and rub elbows with the local media while the media shared what makes a great story and their thoughts on how to get the media to read the students’ press releases.  Lenita represented the television industry for this panel.
