2010 Bateman Competition Winners
University of Georgia


“I firmly believe the Bateman Competition is the best experience a student studying public relations can take part in. Different than a campaign class, you actually have to execute your plan; and different than an internship, where you may only be assisting on a few PR components of a project or a campaign, you are seeing the process through, start to finish, and you are making the decisions.”
