Hello!
 From here on in it's a countdown, with just 15 days left until we choose our next president.
Who will it be?
 Please, take my unofficial poll to the right of this entry and let me know what you think.
 It's between Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, and me!

Public Relations, Fall 2012

Hello Public Relations Fall 2012 class, and welcome to Blogger.com.
 I hope you have a great experience in this class, as you learn to use new media to get your word out, and see how the experts do the same!
 I'm Professor Mary Ellen Lowney, chair of the Communications/New Media Department at American International College. Please come and visit me in my office if you have a chance -- I'm below the Dining Commons in Room 4. You are welcome to stop by to say hi, or to ask any questions about this class as we progress through the semester.
 Meanwhile, set up your own blogs, and make sure you 'follow' my blog while you're at it.
 When you are done setting up your blog, please email me the link so that I may follow you as well.

 Here's me holding up the Eiffel Tower this past May. It was quite a feat!

 I'm posting a link below, to a New York Times piece about a man who used social media as he climbed up a successful professional ladder. Check it out.
