We will always be in your shadow.”After her amazing experience with @weareshadow, Paige hopes to work in the hospitality industry in the future!
Welcome back to #PRSSAbroad! Today we’re highlighting Jillian Niedermeyer, a senior studying public relations and a past Events Committee member for UO PRSSA. After visiting 11 countries with @semesteratsea last fall, Jill has returned to finish her senior year with the SOJC Honors Program and participate in the 2019 Bateman Competition. While abroad, Jill said her favorite countries were Ghana and Myanmar because of how different the cultures each were from her own. Jill said she encountered “such wonderful and inviting people” who wanted to teach her about their culture and “our wonderful world.” Since her ship did not have Wi-Fi, Jill enjoyed playing games with her peers and genuinely getting to know each other without screen distractions. We can’t wait to see where Jill travels next!

This week’s #MemberMonday highlight is the one and only Mo Rayburn! As a sophomore studying public relations, @mo_rayburn has interests in the fashion industry and hopes to pursue a communications career for a magazine. Fun fact: Mo is the self-proclaimed clumsiest person she knows. Not only did she dislocate her knee falling off a bed but also she broke both her wrist and ankle after falling down stairs. Take care of yourself, Mo! #Ouch
