This year IPR, in partnership with PRSA EA, is rebranding the virtual discussion series, Race in the PR Classroom (RPRC), to Diversity in the PR Classroom (DPRC). Rebranding from RPRC to DPRC enables IPR and PRSA EA to expand these conversations beyond race to address the challenges and opportunities in diversity, equity, and inclusion as they evolve for students and educators.
HISTORY
The series began in 2020 as an episodic discussion for educators to learn how to incorporate race into the current state of public relations education. Since 2020, IPR and PRSA have held more than 20 discussions and featured more than 70 different speakers from all sides of the industry. In 2022, the University of Texas at Austin Moody College of Communication joined as a sponsor for the series.
