And on the subject of internship, networking and more:

1. Don't forget to check out the website that appears on, the Public Relations Society of America, Buffalo Chapter. It's a professional organization which you should look into for networking, professional development, events, and so on.
2. If you're in the market for an internship in the area, check out the bulletin board immediately across the hall from my office, Dunleavy 352 (between Dr. Collington's Dunleavy 354 and Dr. Keller's 356... and yes, the numbers in Dunleavy are a bit disorganized.) That's where we pin the materials we receive, as they come in. 
3. The Career Services Office is the authoritative best place to shop for internships... in fact, Bob Swanson, the director, sent me this news. They may have interships up their sleeves that you will find nowhere else, along with savvy tips on how to get an intership, what to consider in accepting an internship, and how to "work" the opportunity to greatest advantage.
