The scholarship was established in 2019 to assist and recognize undergraduate and graduate students for their commitment to the practice of public relations.<\/p>\n

Bates, a communication studies<\/a> major and business administration<\/a> minor, is currently the co-president of Oglethorpe’s chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America<\/a> (PRSSA).<\/p>\n

She was introduced to the scholarship by OU PRSSA Advisor Dr. Kate Keib<\/a>, assistant professor of communication studies.<\/p>\n

“Dr. Keib is great at relaying information and opportunities to us because she’s such an advocate for the students,” Bates said. “If it weren’t for her, I definitely wouldn’t have gotten this scholarship….She’s approachable and really goes the extra mile.”<\/p>\n

Along with written statements and letters of recommendation, Bates’ scholarship application required a video submission responding to the prompt:\u00a0What do you believe are the most effective ways communicators can reach your generation, build brand loyalty and trust? Why might this be important for organizations to consider?<\/em><\/p>\n

In her response, the senior reflected on the increase in global activism in 2020. Using her own real-world experiences, Bates suggested ways that PR professionals could interest a younger audience in activities and organizations outside of their own personal communities.<\/p>\n

In addition to her three years in PRSSA, Bates has held many other leadership positions on campus, including peer academic leader<\/a>, resident assistant, Alpha Phi Omega<\/a> Inter-Club Council (ICC) liaison, lead student worker in OU’s Campus Store<\/a>,\u00a0Collegiate 100<\/a> member, and Black Student Caucus<\/a> social media coordinator.<\/p>\n

Bates also recently completed an internship at Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson International Airport with their community affairs team.<\/p>\n

“It was a great experience where I learned so much about event planning, coordination with other departments, and even some new things about different computer systems,” she reflected. “I had a great time, and I learned so much.”<\/p>\n
