AdPR Connection

Save Tuesday, October 22, 2019 as the date for the 9th Annual AdPR Connection. Located in UGA’s Tate Grand Hall, the event will run from 10:30 A.M. to 5 P.M. and will include a coffee hour, luncheon, workshops and career fair.
The theme for the 2019 AdPR Connection is “Discovering Your Drive.” Discovering Your Drive is focused on helping students figure out what inspires them, both intellectually and personally. Finding inspiration is integral in figuring out what sort of career path a student may want to consider, one that continues to motivate and engage them. By pinpointing strengths, motivators, passions, and goals, students are able to gauge a career path that can fit their personality and abilities, setting themselves up for a fulfilling career.
