Or, if you're like me and prefer the original version, here's Andy Williams...


The Universal Accreditation Board (UAB) has finalized a new “Certificate in Principles of Public Relations” for students.  By way of background, the certificate is designed for any undergraduate student who is:

  • a public relations major or major in a similar field at an accredited college or university with a faculty member who will certify he/she is a public relations or related major
  • within six months of graduation (before or after) 
  • prepared to take a formal preparatory course 
  • willing to pay the $125 exam fee (to cover Prometric testing) plus a $25 registration fee.



Finally, State Office membership rosters will be purged at the end of this month. If you know someone who has YET to renew his/her membership, encourage them to do so now. If they wait, they’ll have to start the process all over again, submit a resume and application, be board approved… and perhaps even pay a late fee.  Remember, memberships are renewed through the State Office.
Gearing up for just one more complete shopping week before Christmas… I encourage you to “think FPRA!”
