Changing Trends in Public Relations

 " I am very excited to be back in Malaysia after three to four years to talk about PR research. It is great to have the chance to inspire  students about the big PR Trends.  Now KDU is a University, they need to look forward to do more scholarly research and I hope students can think about PR as a chosen academic career."

                          

We all know that Public Relations has now become more relevant and important in today's world and society. Trends in Public Relation has also change from time to time especially the perception of it.
Kate Fitch (Picture shown above), a Senior Lecturer of Murdoch University came  to KDU University College and shared with us her knowledge and expertise on the changing trends of Public Relations on 10th of February 2011.

So, what more about Kate Fitch? She was awarded the Vice Chancellor's Citation for Excellence in Enhancing Learning during the year 2010.

The annual Dato’ CQ Teo Debate Challenge 2011 is back!

From a modest number of 12 teams at its inception, the tournament now sees participation of over 60 teams from all over Malaysia with the last installment of it being won by SMK Sri Permata after fiercely contending with SMK King George V on the motion “This House Believes That Religious Sites Are Legitimate Targets In Times of War”.

In keeping up with the KDU tradition of always being the first to innovate, for the first time, this tournament will introduce student adjudicators. We believe that it will be a platform to train students to adjudicate and be exposed to more than just debating.
