Kathryn Hatfield- Hometown News Writer!

Kathryn Hatfield just recently had her first article published in the Hometown News Newspaper! She started there as an intern, but the editor liked her writing so much that she was hired as a freelance writer and is now responsible for producing 1 to 2 articles a week.

Hometown News is a newspaper that covers the eastern coast of Florida from Volusia County to Martin County. It is split up into 15 different newspapers for each local area in the regions. Kathryn writes mostly for the Brevard County publication!

Check out her first published article below! Keep up the good work, Kat!

Alpha Chis and Florida Public Relations Association

By Alex Whitaker
Last month, the FSU student chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association traveled to New York City for our spring professional development trip. Several Beta Eta sisters are members of this organization, which sister, Brooke Swilley, leads as President. On our trip, we visited four high profile PR agencies; Weber Shandwick, Ruder Finn, Ketchum, and Hunter. Through our interactions at these agencies, we learned more about the PR agency as well as had the opportunity to make personal connections.

In addition to the professional aspects of the trip, we also had a lot of free time to explore the city. Famous landmarks, world class dining, and even a little bit of exploration that was off the beaten path were all on the agenda. All in all, we had a wonderful trip that not only helped us to grow professionally but brought us closer together as sisters.
