***  One Paragraph Pitch:

An IABC Accredited Business Communicator (ABC), my strategic communication planning and tactics helped turnaround a challenged $3 billion project for the U.S. Government – eliminating the world’s single-largest stockpile of aging, deteriorating chemical weapons under the provisions of an international treaty.  Now, after 17 years working as the defense contractor’s internal/external communication professional, our mission successfully has been completed, we’re closing the project and I’m ready to bring my skills and energy to your company to engage employees, customers and other stakeholders to achieve business objectives.  Formerly I worked 18 years in broadcast journalism, mostly as a TV news reporter and anchor.  That also gives your corporate media relations program a shot in the arm; but we’ll also target employees and other audiences with compelling stories and other wanted and needed information to drive performance improvement.  My master’s degree in communication research ensures your pegging performance needle will be accurately measured, at the same time identifying any gaps where strategic tweaks will produce additional positive effects.  I’m looking forward to talking with you about what we can do.  Please e-mail me at markmesesan@outlook.com.

Thanks,

Mark

Mornin’ Cap’n Ned! I’m on AT supporting NATO HQ. Would you consider sharing the new Afghanistan website: Return to Hope – it’s very cool but a tough sell.

***  Out for Blood

The pursuit of life for the wounded on the fighting fronts of World War II

by Anastasia Kirby Lundquist

Blood and plasma may be the greatest gift of the “Greatest Generation”-their life’s blood given back at home for the wounded on the fighting front. They sent more than a million pints to war! And we will never know how many men and women walk the world today – or will do so in generations to come – because the life of a father or grandfather was saved by one of those gifts of a blood donor during World War II.

A radio show called Life to the Front, broadcast weekly over WEEI, the Columbia Broadcasting System’s New England network outlet in Boston, helped keep alive the connection between the home front and the fighting fronts.

Each week the broadcast was dedicated “To all the men of the armed forces of the United States… who – on every fighting front in the world – daily risk their lives in the service of their country……that they might live.”

Out for Blood includes first-hand accounts of actual participants in some of the war’s toughest battles, and features actual scripts from Life to the Front.

The Department of Communication Arts in the College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences invites nominations and applications for the position of lecturer of Communication Arts with an emphasis in public relations. Georgia Southern University is a member institution of the University System of Georgia and a Carnegie Doctoral/Research University devoted to academic distinction in teaching, scholarship, and service. At Georgia Southern we provide a culture of engagement that bridges theory with practice, extends the learning environment beyond the classroom, and promotes student growth and life success.

Founded in 1906, the University now serves more than 20,500 students and offers more than 100 campus-based and online degree programs at the baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral levels. Our 900-acre, park-like campus in Statesboro, Georgia, is not far from historic Savannah and Hilton Head Island, and provides the benefits of a major university with the feeling of a much smaller college in a classic Main Street community.

Within this setting, the Department of Communication Arts is the largest department in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and home to five majors: Communication Studies, Multimedia Journalism, Multimedia Film and Production, Public Relations, and Theatre. It is a vibrant, innovative department that stresses faculty collaboration and cross-disciplinary instruction. The department occupies a newly renovated building with studio, editing/lab, classroom and office spaces. Rigorous classroom instruction is complimented by experiential activities that encourage students to both learn about and apply class concepts during the program of study. The program also has a strong internship program with 90% of its majors participating. The successful candidate would be expected to contribute to fostering experiential learning using contemporary public relations practices as well as contribute to program efforts to seek program certification.

Position Description. Reporting to the Department Chair, the Lecturer in Public Relations will teach required courses in the public relations curriculum and public speaking and advise student organizations. With over 300 public relations majors and pre-majors, the program offers a highly regarded internship program, two student organizations, an active professional advisory board, and an involved, service-learning curriculum. The position is a 9-month, non-tenure track appointment, renewable annually; the salary is competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Required Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Public Relations or a closely related discipline by August 1, 2015
• Professional public relations experience
• Some college/university-level teaching experience
• A demonstrated commitment to excellence in teaching and professional service
• Demonstrated ability to teach basic public relations courses such as introduction to PR, PR writing, publications, and public speaking
• Excellent communication skills
• Must be authorized to work in the United States for the duration of employment without assistance from the institution

Preferred Qualifications:

• Terminal degree in Public Relations or a closely related discipline by August 1, 2015
• Experience teaching a diverse student body
• Ability to teach in a specialized area such as Social Media or Event Management

Screening of applications begins October 27, 2014, and continues until the position is filled. The preferred position starting date is August 1, 2015. A complete application consists of a letter addressing the qualifications cited above; a curriculum vitae; a sample public relations’ syllabus; and the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses of 5 professional references. Other documentation may be requested. Only complete applications and applications submitted electronically will be considered. Finalists will be required to submit to a background investigation.

***  Out for Blood

The pursuit of life for the wounded on the fighting fronts of World War II

by Anastasia Kirby Lundquist

Blood and plasma may be the greatest gift of the “Greatest Generation”-their life’s blood given back at home for the wounded on the fighting front. They sent more than a million pints to war! And we will never know how many men and women walk the world today – or will do so in generations to come – because the life of a father or grandfather was saved by one of those gifts of a blood donor during World War II.

A radio show called Life to the Front, broadcast weekly over WEEI, the Columbia Broadcasting System’s New England network outlet in Boston, helped keep alive the connection between the home front and the fighting fronts.

Each week the broadcast was dedicated “To all the men of the armed forces of the United States… who – on every fighting front in the world – daily risk their lives in the service of their country……that they might live.”

Out for Blood includes first-hand accounts of actual participants in some of the war’s toughest battles, and features actual scripts from Life to the Front.

***  Out for Blood

The pursuit of life for the wounded on the fighting fronts of World War II

by Anastasia Kirby Lundquist

Blood and plasma may be the greatest gift of the “Greatest Generation”-their life’s blood given back at home for the wounded on the fighting front. They sent more than a million pints to war! And we will never know how many men and women walk the world today – or will do so in generations to come – because the life of a father or grandfather was saved by one of those gifts of a blood donor during World War II.

A radio show called Life to the Front, broadcast weekly over WEEI, the Columbia Broadcasting System’s New England network outlet in Boston, helped keep alive the connection between the home front and the fighting fronts.

Each week the broadcast was dedicated “To all the men of the armed forces of the United States… who – on every fighting front in the world – daily risk their lives in the service of their country……that they might live.”

Out for Blood includes first-hand accounts of actual participants in some of the war’s toughest battles, and features actual scripts from Life to the Front.

***  Out for Blood

The pursuit of life for the wounded on the fighting fronts of World War II

by Anastasia Kirby Lundquist

Blood and plasma may be the greatest gift of the “Greatest Generation”-their life’s blood given back at home for the wounded on the fighting front. They sent more than a million pints to war! And we will never know how many men and women walk the world today – or will do so in generations to come – because the life of a father or grandfather was saved by one of those gifts of a blood donor during World War II.

A radio show called Life to the Front, broadcast weekly over WEEI, the Columbia Broadcasting System’s New England network outlet in Boston, helped keep alive the connection between the home front and the fighting fronts.

Each week the broadcast was dedicated “To all the men of the armed forces of the United States… who – on every fighting front in the world – daily risk their lives in the service of their country……that they might live.”

Out for Blood includes first-hand accounts of actual participants in some of the war’s toughest battles, and features actual scripts from Life to the Front.
