From the Hard News Café

April 11, 2004 | Trisha Taggart of Logan, a junior majoring in public relations at Utah State University, won the Utah PR Student of the Year competition, sponsored by Richter7, the state's largest, locally-owned advertising and public relations agency.

The award, which includes a $1,000 scholarship, is given to a Utah college student each year on the basis of academic record, work experience and aptitude for success in public relations as demonstrated through a written case study and oral presentation, according to Tim Brown, Richter7 partner.

"Creating the PR Student of the Year award pushes for excellence from future professionals in the field," Brown said. "We've seen excellent students surface from Utah State University. Two of the last four recipients have been from USU, which speaks very highly of the university and its leadership."
