Get ready…Digital 101 at JMU
Welcome to the Digital 101 Web site! So what exactly is Digital 101, you ask?
Digital 101 is a two-day crash course about the use of social media tools in the wonderful world of public relations, brought to you by members of Edelman’s Digital Public Affairs staff from the firm’s Washington, DC office. (For more information about Edelman, take a look at the About Us page of this site.) I’m Kate Marshall, and I’ll be one of the ten or so instructors leading the event. We’re thrilled to bring the event to JMU! I actually graduated from JMU in 2004 so, as a lifetime fan of purple and gold, I’m especially excited to come back and work with JMU students from PRSSA and the SCOM and SMAD programs.
Check out the Web site to learn more about the event. And over the next several weeks you’ll see updates from our official Digital 101 bloggers right here (more on that in a bit), so stay tuned for more information.

Can’t wait to follow this event from afar! To me, this (in conjunction with other events like the New Media Summit) solidifies Edelman’s dedication to helping the academy instill best practices of social media public relations into the next generator of practitioners. Best of luck & happy networking!

Thanks so much, Kaye! Our work with UGA helped us get this program off the ground, so a huge thank you to you and the students for pioneering this.
Excited to hear your thoughts on our second go-round!
