By Scarlett Votaw, 1910 PR Associate Being in 1910 PR has taught me so much throughout this semester, especially when it comes to content creation and social media. One area I’ve really grown in is making reels and posts. Some of my favorite projects were the reels I created for our client, the College of Fine Arts and Humanities, where I highlighted study spots before midterms. I also loved designing graphics to promote things like Green Lighting and the Symphonic Band conce

By Victoria Reyes, 1910 PR Assistant Director There is a difference between completing an assignment and being responsible for work that represents a real client. That shift defined this semester in 1910 PR. Working with the City of Canyon brought strategy into focus, especially through content centered on volunteerism and community engagement. From planning interviews to organizing monthly deliverables, every decision connected back to how the message would land with the aud

By Tori Palacio, 1910 PR Associate Since the start of the semester, 1910 PR has helped me learn so many new skills and has given me a lot more knowledge about the opportunities that live within the field of Public Relations and how a PR firm works. In terms of opportunities, I had the privilege to network with some amazing people from the AdSavvy event that I worked, met wonderful volunteers from the City of Canyon campaign I worked on, and have learned so much about differen

By Tate Maxwell, 1910 PR Associate Looking back on this semester in 1910 PR it is amazing to see the progress I have made over the past couple of months. Headshot of Tate Maxwell used for the 1910 PR spring 2026 staff directory When I originally signed up for the course, I assumed it was a standard class that would simply teach students PR methods. However, the class proved to be much more than that. It has proven to be a hands-on course that has helped me develop my professi

Over the course of this semester, I have not only grown in my leadership skills, but I have grown in my design skills and social media management. Managing the College of Fine Arts and Humanities social media pages has been one of the best things that has helped me

By Nataley Bonilla, 1910 PR Associate 1910 PR will always be the class where my knowledge about Public Relations grew and how as a PR professional that you must be ready for anything that comes your way. Whether that is good for your company or whether that is bad, you must always be ready and up on your toes. When I first signed up for this class, I did not expect it to feel like an actual “client” office. Everything that we do in the classroom is all PR-related activities f

Throughout the course, I have had the opportunity to edit and improve the website, which showed me how important organization, design, and keeping content updated are for a professional brand. Working on the website also helped me become more confide

By Katherine Walters, 1910 PR Associate Headshot of Katherine Walters used for the 1910 PR spring 2026 staff directory Looking back to the start of the semester, roughly 90 days ago, I was just stepping into my last first day of classes at WT. One of the classes I had to take was Dr. Kinksy’s 1910 PR class. Starting this class, I had no real idea of what I was supposed to do or what would be expected of me over the next four months. Now I am wrapping up my time as a WT underg

By Dylan Hope, 1910 PR Associate Before I get into my reflection fully, I want to take a minute to admit that I came into this class with absolutely zero ideas or expectations about it. I had never heard about it from anyone on campus, nor was it ever presented as an option to take if I needed credits to graduate. So now, after spending an entire semester in 1910 PR, I want to get into my thoughts and reflections about this course, and things that I have learned or struggled

By: Cole Brackett, 1910 PR Associate My experience with 1910 PR was an extremely valuable experience, allowing me to gather skills I would have never imagined myself using. I have been blessed to meet so many great people and work with a bunch of highly talented individuals, who made this semester go smoothly and allowed me to learn so much. One of the most rewarding parts of the class was the ability and honor to work and promote the last Distinguished Lecture Series that We

By Casein Lujan, 1910 PR Associate It's about time to wrap up this semester, it’s been eventful and long either way. I remember when I was starting this class I had no clue what I was getting myself into. At the beginning, I had no basic understanding of public relations concepts, or how I would interact with a client's work. However later on I would get more of an understanding of it from what Dr. Kinsky had taught us and how we would apply it to our client. Headshot of Case

By Jeffrey Williams, 1910 PR Associate We’re finally here. The anticipated finale of my collegiate career, unless I decide to pursue further education in the future, that is. My return to school and 1910 PR has been quite unorthodox, but familiar in an odd way. Before this semester, my last full semester was the spring of 2021. Most classes remained fully online, with a few returning to in-person settings. Being fully online, I’m not able to fully integrate with the team as m

By Alexis Navarette, 1910 PR Associate Before joining 1910 PR, I was not aware what this class consisted of; this course was merely a way to earn an extra credit needed for graduation. However, throughout the semester, I realized that this course was like no other. I was so accustomed to taking courses, studying the content, and then completing exams, that when I joined 1910 PR, I was introduced to a completely different environment. On the first day of class, we were informe

By Hailey Hiller, 1910 PR Associate Throughout this semester in 1910 PR, I gained a much clearer understanding of public relations and how it works in a professional setting. At first, I mostly thought of PR as social media and event planning, but I’ve realized it is much more strategic. Hailey Hiller and Lorelai Moyer work on their laptops during a 1910 PR staff meeting PR is about building relationships, communicating well, and representing a brand in a way that connects wi

By far, my favorite portion of being involved with 1910 PR is the hands-on learning opportunities which facilitated my personal and professional growth this semester.
