My name is Stacey Hanke; I am a senior this year at UW-Whitewater studying public relations, and minoring in journalism and advertising. Throughout my journey of pursuing my undergraduate degree, I have found that the communication department and the university grants many opportunities and advice to help students find their right “niche”. As a student who has utilized these opportunities, and after much exploration, I feel that public relations is finally the right fit. Though I know I have much to learn yet, I enjoy the practical skills I am learning and the deeper level of understanding towards the whole spectrum of P.R. Because it is a field that you can go so many directions in I feel comfortable knowing that every day in my career will not have to be the same. And since I tend to have a pretty big bucket list of goals and aspirations I hope to achieve yet, knowing that P.R. is a field that I have the ability to explore different opportunities is exciting and motivating for me. Motivation and determination are definitely two qualities that an individual needs to be in the field of Public Relations and I have had a lot of experience with my personal development of these characteristics. Ambition is another quality that I believe is important and one that I feel I possess, as an executive board member of two organizations, Delta Zeta and SPILL, an involved member in many others and a leveraged associate at GUESS; it takes a lot of time and work but with organization, a positive attitude, and trying to remain flexible, I feel anything is possible if you set your mind to it. Being able to manage a lot of different responsibilities I feel is preparation for a future in the P.R. world and makes me excited of what other experiences there are in store.
