PRSSA Media Crisis Competition - April 13
The competition is designed to help journalists and public relations students learn how to interact through the guise of a press conference. A crisis scenario will be given to public relations teams, who must then create a media kit and present their message in a press conference to teams of journalists. The journalists then prepare a print and multimedia package. Professionals from both industries will judge what the teams prepare and a winner will be selected from both sides. The winning team wins $300 and dinner with a professional. The journalists tour Windy City Live in Chicago and dine with its host, Ryan Chivarini. Public relations winners dine with the CEO of GolinHarris in Chicago.
All throughout the event, participants will be able to network with over twenty professionals from PR and journalistic backgrounds.
The event is on April 13 at 11:30 AM. Anyone is welcome to come network starting at 12:00.

Fall 2010
The University of Iowa recognized as Public University of the Year by The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Programs
Earlier this month in Washington, D.C., representatives from The University of Iowa’s Pomerantz Career Center accepted an award on behalf of the University, recognizing the long-standing partnership the organization and The University of Iowa have had, in addition to exceeding other criteria in place measuring 630 public four-year colleges and universities that participate with The Washington Center. Recipients typically have strong procedures in place to publicize the program, carefully advise students of the program and opportunities involved, and assist students with the application process. More importantly, The University of Iowa consistently has students who are academically strong and committed to contribute and learn from their Washington experience involved in the program.
Michael B. Smith, president of The Washington Center commented, “Through the excellent work of the Pomerantz Center, Iowa sends substantial numbers of strong, well-advised students who compete very successfully for internship opportunities, do well in our academic classes and make good use of our civic engagement and leadership-oriented programming. The events surrounding our 35th anniversary will be focused on those who have contributed most over time to The Washington Center’s strength and ability to serve college and university students, so they give us a particularly appropriate time to recognize Iowa for what it is – not only Public University of the Year but also perennially one of our very strongest university partners.”
The University of Iowa has been involved with The Washington Center program for more than 30 years, with more than 922 students participating since that time. Coordinated through the Pomerantz Career Center, students participate in professional internship experiences in non-profit, for-profit and governmental agencies throughout the Washington, DC area, and during the summer, beyond at locations including London, England and Sydney, Australia. While participating, students take an academic seminar, and participate in activities related to their career interests. Students often receive between 9 and 12 academic credits, depending on course of study.
Past UI students have interned at sites, such as: the Department of the Interior, U.S. Navy Museum/Naval Historical Center, the White House and Merrill Lynch. Every year, nearly 50 UI students participate in the program. “The partnership The University of Iowa has with The Washington Center is a win-win. Our students have been valuable additions to the classroom and workplace through internships in the DC area for hundreds of employers, and the students come away with professional experiences and opportunities to really experience the Nation’s Capitol and help them further their careers.” said David Baumgartner, Ph.D., Assistant Provost, Enrollment Management.
Pomerantz Career Center provides services to students and alumni from The University of Iowa. Services available include career and major exploration, assessment tools, career advising, and job and internship search resources such as HireaHawk.com, an online recruiting system. The Pomerantz Career Center hosts several career fairs annually, career education programs for students, mock interviews and many other programs and services. The office is located at C310 Pomerantz Center, on Market Street and the Cleary Walkway in Iowa City. For more information, call 319-335-1023 or visit www.careers.uiowa.edu.
