Advising for Public Relations
Faculty members in the Department of Public Relations are available to provide professional/career advising. Faculty members are listed below by their areas of expertise. You are welcome to contact any of them for professional/career advising during their office hours or by email.
Please note that academic advising for public relations majors is available in PATH (1060 Weimer Hall) – not with the faculty listed here. In PATH, professional advisors can assist you and answer your questions about public relations classes, potential graduation dates, graduating with honors, degree checks, etc. It is best to consult the PATH office on University-wide matters, such as degree requirements. Also see the PATH office for initial academic advising; the Public Relations Department Chair – Dr. Myiah Hutchens (myiahhutchens@ufl.edu) can also assist in some matters.
