MEDIA AND STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS

CONCEPT BEHIND THE FLASHMOB

The school of Journalism and Broadcasting made a recent name change to the School of Media and Strategic Communications. In order to promote this new name change, the Advanced PR class created a flashmob to deliver its message. Recently companies like T-Mobile have used flash- mobs as a successful means of communicating its message. The flashmob allowed us to get the whole school involved. We were able to use dancers from various majors, so that we could inform everybody, school wide about the name change. The new name change has helped to better serve the mission of the school, which is to prepare students with the tools need- ed in a career for mass commmunications.

The School of Media and Strategic Communications at Oklahoma State Uni-versity has a proud tradition of preparing students for successful careers and for providing them with a well-rounded foundation of skills and appreciation for the importance of mass communication in American society. We are proud of what we have accomplished and of what we will accomplish in the future.
