Advisory committee formed for South University program
South University has created a program advisory committee comprised of local communications professionals who will guide the institution’s growing public relations degree programs.
Lesley Francis of Lesley Francis PR, Marjorie Young of Carriage Trade PR, and Herbert Goodwin of Razor Sharp Records South have backgrounds in business, non-profit and mass media.
“Each of them exemplify the real-world, strategic public relations our students are here to learn as part of our bachelor and master of public relations degree programs,” said P. Wynn Norman, director of the program.
Francis founded an agency in London before moving to the U.S. in 2009. Her clients include local businesses as well as non-profit organizations and community events.
Young founded Carriage Trade PR in 1995 and has earned accolades for her entrepreneurial skills from a number of coastal region businesses and groups.
Goodwin is the CEO of Razor Sharp Records South, Inc., a recording studio and independent record label that provides local musicians with coaching, recording, management and marketing/PR services.
