Give $30 to honor every year Robin Street has taught and mentored University of Mississippi students. Upon retirement, she was one of the longest-running UM journalism professors ever.
Street's students have dominated the student awards from the Public Relations Association of Mississippi, winning 150 over the years. On the left, check out a small number of Street's best and brightest award-winning students.
In a typical year, Robin Street managed to give personal attention, instruction and career advice to 375 students.
In her 491 class, Street pushed students to seek internships and guided them to create real-world campaigns for clients. Her class prepared generations of students to start successful careers in PR.
Street estimates she has 1,000 former students who are working public relations professionals around the globe. Every year, she has launched students from Farley Hall to top corporations and PR firms.
To give so much of yourself to 375 students every year means hours and hours spent grading projects to give everyone the personal attention they deserve. In her 30 years in UM journalism, Street estimates that she's graded around 2,500 projects!
