Monday Feb. 16: Pizza and Press Releases

On Monday, Feb 16th I walked into my internship and was delightfully surprised: upon one of employees’ return from a service trip, pizza was served!  So we had the staff meeting in which everyone discussed the project list and then we ate pizza. 

Following the pizza I worked on press releases.  One was for the worthy nominee that I have mentioned in previous posts.  Another was for an ex-death row convict who was wrongfully accused over 15 years ago and was just released from Oklahoma State prison.   The man is coming to speak to students at the College and there will be a public event held for him later in the evening.  I had to contact a few sources about this event as well as put together internal and external press releases for it.  The third press release was for an artist who’s photos will be displayed in an exhibition at the College.  I had to find information about him and the reception opening his exhibit.  The final release I worked on was for upcoming Fine Arts events at the College.

Monday was fun!
