I am, however, very grateful that you are all exploring the network. Simply put, the PROpenMic network can be as good as you, the members, make it. All I did was put the site up. If it was just me there, do you really think anyone would visit? Heck, I probably wouldn't go there. ;) The practitioners are there for you and the faculty. The faculty are there for you and the practitioners. You're there to learn from all of them - and the other students. Take a chance. Explore and have fun. Take yourself out of your comfort zone. Launch yourself into the discussions. I've seen students start careers off of the contacts they make online. Seriously. Thanks, Barbara. Glad to see you all involved. :) I *know* I’m not a “big name”.

You are able to meet and talk to people beneficial to the field that you would never be able to meet otherwise. Big name people include Phil Gomez, Paul Young, and James Grunig I think I could benefit from this by asking questions to professors and other students about work or projects that they have already completed. I can contribute by talking about my experience, sharing ideas as I work with the City of Statesboro and Campus Special as an intern.

The most beneficial parts are the stories that the practicioners write. I like to read them and make my own comments about them. Some big names in PROpenMic are Phil Gomes, Paul Young, James Grunig, adn Robert French. I could benefit by this site in many ways. It gives me another place to practice my writing and get opinions from others. Also, I can read other people's blogs and get some ideas about PR. The PROpenMic site is another PR networking site.

I think it's difficult for alot of public relations majors to attain a job due to competition and lack of opportunities. Phil Gomes, James Grunig, & Robert French I think I'd benefit by the useful information and being able to interact with other people who share the same interest I think I'd help contribute what I've learned from my P R Writing class and help others with advice on P R basics.
