Both from 🇨🇦 but met in @glasgow.ac.uk. Lovely meeting Canada Reseach Chair @gruzd.ca from @socialmedialab.ca. Thank you for co-founding the #SMSociety!

SO nice to finally meet @harrytdyer.bsky.social @estebanmorales.bsky.social (who took our photo - thank you!) and @devinasarwatay.bsky.social "in person"! This is where social and @bsky.app in particular can be a great ice breaker ❄️ #SMSociety

Nothing like @timhortonsofficial.bsky.social to make someone feel at home in Glasgow ☕️ definitely pricier than back home but needed the caffeine to gear up for #SMSociety tomorrow ✨ any local iconic coffee shops I should check out near @glasgow.ac.uk?

Great episode! Key takeaway for me: PR isn’t just about getting media attention, it’s about measuring real impact. Also, AI can support research and content ideas, but human creativity and relationships are still the most important part of PR. #UCWPUBR300

A key takeaway was that DEI in PR should be authentic, not performative. National Indigenous Peoples Day reminds us to listen, learn, and build respectful relationships through our communication. #UCWPUR300 #NIPD2026

Over the past 10 weeks, I learned how PR shapes public perception through strategy, media relations, and storytelling. I especially enjoyed learning about crisis communication and real-world case studies because they showed how PR decisions can impact an organization’s reputation. #UCWPUBR300

#UCWPUBR300 As you reflect on the past ten weeks, what are some of the things you will hopefully take away from the course? Is there anything you enjoyed learning about - a topic, story, case study? #PublicRelations

#UCWPUBR300 I am excited for the final group presentations. Good preparation and rehearsals help build confidence. My best tips are to be clear, maintain eye contact, and not rush through the slides. I also admire speakers who stay calm and deliver simple, engaging messages. @wahibachair.com
