Earlier this week, I hosted a Twitter chat (#PRStudChat). It was an awesome, awesome experience and I was so grateful to the nearly 100 participants who joined in!

The Power Behind Twitter Chats: PRowl PR, Temple University’s student-run PR firm that co-founded when I was in school, showed up in droves to support me in the chat (THANK YOU!). Firm Director Kaitlyn Sutton published this post with even more reasons why you should participate in relevant Twitter chats.
