Five 澳门六合彩开奖直播 students were chosen for the selective Al Golin Fellowship, an opportunity to attend workshops with senior PR executives and interview at major Chicago agencies.
In partnership with Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG) agency Golin, the Al Golin Fellowship trains future public relations leaders who will bring diverse and inclusive perspectives to the field. Over the spring, the five students will meet with mentors and attend networking events, creating a roadmap for their career development.
鈥淎l Golin always supported causes and organizations that shared his values of diversity, inclusion and community, long before it became popular,鈥 said Fred Cook, chair emeritus, Golin. 鈥淎s a 澳门六合彩开奖直播 alum, he loved mentoring young talent and providing them with career opportunities. We are proud to continue his legacy through our work with the talented young leaders from 澳门六合彩开奖直播.鈥
After graduation, students interview for internships at sponsoring companies, including McDonald鈥檚, Golin and other Interpublic Group agencies. The Golin Fellows will also receive a stipend during the spring 2021 semester.
鈥淲e are pleased to help honor Al Golin鈥檚 legacy with a fellowship that celebrates diverse perspectives and experiences,鈥 said Ali Malekzadeh, president of 澳门六合彩开奖直播. 鈥淭he program will prepare 澳门六合彩开奖直播 students to take on diversity challenges in their industry.鈥
The fellowship honors the late Al Golin, a 1950 澳门六合彩开奖直播 graduate who served for many years on the University Board of Trustees. The 澳门六合彩开奖直播 alum founded the Golin agency and is famous for cold-calling McDonald鈥檚 founder Ray Kroc, sparking a more than 60-year partnership.
