     William Mills Agency, the nation's largest public relations firm serving the financial services industry, was a Summa Cum Laude Sponsor of the Georgia Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA|GA) Real World PR 2008 on Friday, February 22.

     PRSA|GA's annual collegiate conference at the Loudermilk Center in downtown Atlanta attracted 212 students from 35 colleges and universities throughout the Southeast and well beyond. It is the largest collegiate conference sponsored by any U.S. PRSA chapter.

     The conference included various career seminars focusing on topics such as how to make the most of an internship and how to find a job in public relations.  Volunteer Chapter members critiqued résumés, and students also learned more about specific public relations functions to help them better determine which area of the profession is right for them.
"Real World PR is the finest student-focused event in the Southeast," said Scott Mills, APR, president of William Mills Agency.  "As an annual sponsor, we have a unique opportunity to meet the people who will be shaping the public relations industry for years to come."
Among colleges and universities represented by students this year were California State University-Dominguez Hills, Northwood University, Samford University, Central Connecticut State University, Clemson University, Elon University, Florida A&M University, Lee University, University of Florida, University of Denver, University of South Carolina, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, plus most major colleges in Georgia and the Southeast.
