She also made three special presentations, including one to Verizon’s president’s team, drafted media advisories and press releases, conducted research for internal and external purposes, gathered details from reporters, pitched stories, updated media lists, planned and executed media events and helped to resolve customer complaints. She was even able to travel to other Verizon locations in Maryland and meet some of the other members of the team. Congratulations, Inderdeep, on your success!

Bus Com alum advocates for cancer patients
Jul 14th, 2010 by chiprouse
BusCom alum Brian Myers, who’s head of Stewardship for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, writes to us from Texas with a plea for help. Excerpted below are some of his thoughts:
“I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to reach out to all of you to ask for your help. A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend a Fundraising Appreciation Dinner for the LIVESTRONG Challenge event. The dinner is a sort of thank you to all the great people who support LIVESTRONG and our mission by raising money to participate in our events. The dinner is an experience that anyone with a cancer connection should attend. It is a very moving evening that gives people a chance to laugh, cry and talk about cancer in a room full of support. The minimum to fundraise to be able to attend the event is $3,000, for which you and a guest can attend the dinner. I know that not everybody has the means or connections to raise that kind of money. So I thought to myself, ‘I wonder if I do.’ My plan is to raise the $3,000 and give my ticket to someone and a guest of his or her choice in the Philadelphia community who does not have the means to attend the event. Attending would help empower and inspire this person and show that he or she is not alone in the fight against cancer.
Sound Good?
I am working with someone at work to help me identify who our guests will be, but if you know anyone in the Philadelphia community who you think would benefit from this or know someone who could help me, please let me know. Please pass this on to anyone you know, and put my link below an all your social media networking sites. Time is not on our side, as the event is at the end of August…
Thank you for your help, and I can honestly say this experience will change someone’s life for the better.”

Rising senior Heather Redding’s recent internship at WBAL-TV has given her entree to the world of the rich and famous TV commercial stars.

Here’s a look at one with Heather in it by herself — and here’s a link to a clip with both Heather and Katie in it.
