Second Century Club

Overview

The Second Century Club is dedicated to the Department of Advertising and Public Relations within the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. The Club’s creation was founded on the principle of continuing our tradition of excellence. In 2015 we celebrated the first 100 years of Grady College and we are striving to continue our ongoing goal of being the best AdPR program in the U.S. With support from you and corporate partners, our students continue to expand their horizons in our global study abroad programs, gain real-world experience through professional partnerships with industry leading agencies and are involved with cutting-edge research in virtual reality, health and crisis communications and the new SEE suite – a social media classroom/lab powered by Crimson Hexagon.

With 26 full-time, award-winning professors and over 800 undergraduates, masters, and doctoral students we are proud to have a 94% placement rate after graduation. Because of dedicated support from individuals like you, graduates are digital ready, strategic problem solvers and communicators with a comprehensive foundation in advertising or public relations.
