Extra-curricular
SSU has provided me with a wealth of opportunities outside of allocated lectures which I have made the most of!
EVENTS ATTENDED
2019-2020
Crisis Simulation (2020)
We worked in multi-disciplinary groups to manage a crisis, under intense time pressure. This year, we had to manage communications after a Covid 19 out break, at the fictional Telson University. Managing a variety of stakeholders such as, panicked employees, students on social media and communications with journalists.
Guest lectures (2019-2020)
They have helped me gauge a wider understanding of the industry and provided me an opportunity to meet, either virtually or physically and proactive my verbal communications by asking relevant questions about the industry. For instance, Anna Thame, a freelance communications consultant, spoke about the importance of relationships in both Marketing and Public Relations, as well as, ethical relations which is an area I am particularly keen to learn more about.
E-campaign Day 2019
As a team we produced a complete digital campaign in one day! This was my first event as a 'fresher', so was my first real opportunity to collaborate with a variety of students outside of my classes. It was also a chance to present on a stage, in front of large audience, which helped to develop my verbal communication skills and confidence.
