This is a guest post by Brenna Wiebe, OSU Strategic Communications Senior and summer intern at Crossroads Communications. Brenna is working on a major in Public Relations and a minor in Marketing and will be writing on the blog from time to time this summer. I’m excited to have her as part of our team [...]
Still working on updating pages here on the site that the WordPress pharma hack infected. I apologize if you see in a title or search something that obviously I am not selling… I think between Carlos Moreno, Doug Stewart and some very helpful Twitter friends (@bradleyhunt, @rmalove), the worst is over.
