🥳 Celebrating Student Achievement! 🤩

Big contgratulations to Anabelle Sartain, Greer Melville and Fatiha Washington for taking second place in the IPR + Page Case Study Competition for their case study, “Hearts, Minds and Carats: How De Beers Made Diamonds Eternal!" 🎉

The IPR + Page Case Study Competition awards students whose original case studies best contribute to the profession’s body of knowledge. This year’s competition drew 47 entries from communications and business schools. The competition not only advances research and practice in the field but also encourages critical thinking, analysis, and discussion among students, helping better explore the real-world impact of corporate case studies.

Get the inside scoop from graduating SOC student Ethan Kauffman!

Ethan did not arrive at with a clear cut path, but over time, he built one by leaning into the relationships, resources, and hands-on opportunities around him. He was able to build experience (and a portfolio) in marketing, producing, shooting, critiquing, and editing films during his time at SOC. As a film and media arts student, his experience reflects how SOC's smaller program structure allows students to work closely with faculty and translate classroom learning directly into professional work.

What does an internship in sports PR look like? 2026 graduate Lauren Gersten spent her final semester at SOC interning in corporate communications at Monumental Sports & Entertainment - supporting the Washington Wizards, Washington Capitals, and Washington Mystics while gaining event experience at Capital One Arena + EagleBank Arena. One highlight was a visit from the Harlem Globetrotters’ as part of their 100 Year Tour.
