Hi Ed & Cherie:
I just shared the details of your internship with the Principles of PR class. Several students seemed very interested, so you’ll probably be hearing from some (although a couple were more interested in possibility for summer or fall 2012) due to scheduling issues.

That is great news! Thank you for sharing. We are really looking forward to hearing from them. Encourage students to submit their information soon, even if they have their eye on a summer or fall opportunity. Thanks again!
