Abstract: In my independent study, I set out to explore the work of directors of college relations. I interviewed: Cene Warren, Director of Public Affairs, Pembroke State University, N.C.; Russell Strong, Director of College Relations, St. Andrews Presbyterian College, Laurinburg, N.C.; Judith A. Plyer, Public Relations Coordinator, Richmond Technical Institute, Rockingham, N.C.; and Richard (Dick) Fraylick, Public Relations Officer, Robeson Technical Institute, Lumberton, N.C.Even though each of them has a different title, each is responsible for the promoting of the school that he/she represents.Russell Strong had this to say to students wanting to enter the profession of public relations: "A student should have journalistic leanings, a modicum of writing skill and curiosity about people--excitability-- and the ability to deliver--essentially, a willingness to work with people."
