Student-Run PR Firm!

Recently I have been playing around with the idea of starting a PR club on my campus. Normally, a club includes lectures, guest speakers, and networking. That's all good and very necessary, but I wanted to create something that would benefit students past a classroom and offer hands-on experience for all. In PR, it's one thing to be taught what to do and what the industry is like, but it's another to do it!

The name will be "Mountain Lion Pride", with great emphasis on the PR in pride! Below I have attached my proposed ideas for the mission statement! And also a logo that I designed myself! Please take a look and let me know what you think! I am open to any type of critiques and  I have not yet done anything permanent yet because I want to continue doing my research to ensure this will be a long standing club. 

 Thanks Beans!
