I could write about the elections but decided that everyone else and their mother is probably doing that, has done that or about to. With that in mind, I was thinking about this coming Friday and our hosting of about 15 students coming in from University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. With election burnout upon me, I am skipping right through writing about the elections and looking forward to this visit. (Don't get me wrong, I plan to vote.)

The 15 students are all members of UW-SP's PRSSA chapter. They are pursuing public relations as a career and want to learn more about the field, our PR agency, how we work and the ins and outs of social media. I also suspect they will have more than a few questions. Despite our dire warning that our office is big enough to house a fly and expressing to them that we are a small start up- they still want to come and visit.

OK-so we don't have enough room in our office to safely welcome all 15, nor do we have our informal presentation worked out That's OK. Those are the details I refuse to sweat. What I do know is that we are excited to welcome them to our office, with open arms. To be able to share our profession with them, firsthand as a small business start up, and all of the enthusiasm that goes with it--is priceless. And, if there are one or two students that will stay in Wisconsin to pursue their dreams-then our work is done.

So, while the election is certainly exciting, it's this opportunity to meet with students that gets me really fired up. Inspiring students is the hope and change I'm looking for-a place I can really make a difference.
