Gainesville, FL—The Institute for Public Relations (IPR) will be presenting five webinars featuring topics on organizational communication, behavioral insights, and public interest communication, sponsored by the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications (CJC). Beginning in June, each webinar will review the latest in communication research and its influence and application in both the academic and professional world.
“We are very excited to sponsor this research-driven webinar series,” said Dean Diane McFarlin. “Staying up-to-date on the latest research is vital to any communication professional, and these webinars will not only discuss new research, but will also go a step further and give actionable examples of how to apply it in the profession.”
The webinars will showcase speakers from various backgrounds in communication including UF professors, leaders in the profession, and trustees from the IPR Board.
“This partnership in the webinar series with UF is another opportunity for IPR to deliver free research and insights that matter to the profession.” said Tina McCorkindale, CEO of IPR. “We are thrilled to continue partnering with the University of Florida CJC.
The first webinar, “Millennials @ Work: Perspectives on Reputation, Diversity and Inclusion,” will feature Chief Reputation Strategist of Weber Shandwick and IPR Trustee Leslie Gaines Ross, and IPR Director of Research Dr. Sarab Kochhar, with Millennials Josh Ferrari and Maddi Messner as they discuss and analyze the stigma around this age group and what they really seek out of a workplace.
