FPRA SWFL Hosts “Public Relations of Athletics at Florida Gulf Coast University”

The Florida Public Relations Association Southwest Florida Chapter (FPRA SWFL) “PR on The Road” luncheon series continues in February with a look at the “Public Relations of Athletics at Florida Gulf Coast University.” The luncheon event will take place on Tuesday, Feb. 2 from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Alico Arena on the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), 10501 FGCU Blvd. South, Fort Myers, Fla.

Athletics is a major part of many universities and colleges across the country and is a gateway for student achievement. At FGCU, it is an essential element of the university’s fundraising and market awareness. Attendees to the upcoming luncheon will learn about the public relations, marketing strategies and activities for the university’s athletic program. Guests will enjoy a presentation and luncheon overlooking the Alico Arena court, mingle with some of FGCU’s student-athletes and possibly even have the chance to toss in a free throw or two!

The cost for attending the presentation is $25 for members, $30 for non-members and $15 for students. Space is limited so please register early. Guests must RSVP online at fpraswfl.org.
