On Tuesday, November 9, FPRA’s student chapter at Florida Gulf Coast University hosted a panel discussion focused on Sports PR. More than 40 students attended.
The panelists included:



Gary Sharp, Miracle Baseball, director of media relations/promotions and P.A. Announcer

Ed Reed, The News-Press, sports editor
Nick Johnson, Florida Everblades, account executive

Justin Miller, 60 Feet Away, executive director

Congratulations to faculty advisor Professor Susan Moniz and our Student Chapter on hitting a home run with this very successful event!

A number of FGCU FPRA students topped off the semester by attending the professional chapter’s December meeting with guest speaker Sarah Owen, CEO of Community Cooperative Ministries, Inc. (CCMI). Students were able to network with professional members and hear Sarah’s inspirational message about embracing challenges and failures and turning them around as learning lessons.
