The new series, aimed specifically at younger public relations
practitioners, is being conducted at the KSU state-of-the-art conference
center on Kent's Stark campus. The session will also feature a technology
presentation by PR Newswire's regional manager Trevor Loe. He will focus on

media relations is an important subject for practitioners at all levels, but
especially for those somewhat newer to the profession. Gary Wells brings

intent on providing public relations professionals," explained Bill Sledzik,
