Robert French - Bio
Robert French teaches public relations at Auburn University. He has over 25 years of experience in public relations, broadcasting and university administration.
Robert became interested in social media for the benefit of his students. He saw the change in PR coming and got in early.
Social media has proven to be a powerful educational, networking and mentoring
path for Auburn students. They have landed interviews and jobs with the
top public relations, marketing and advertising firms in the world, in
part, because of their class social media experiences. Auburn graduates
are now actively weaving social media into PR practice for governors,
state agencies, PR/marktening agencies, corporations, nonprofits and
churches.

the Society for New Communication Research. Recently honored with
