Kwantlen Polytechnic University鈥檚 public relations  graduate and faculty member Amelia Kennedy recently returned from Croatia, where she spent two weeks sharing her Canadian experiences and expertise with students at the University of Dubrovnik.

After turmoil in the 1990s, Croatia has energetically focused on rebuilding areas such as tourism and their educational systems. The University of Dubrovnik specializes in undergraduate and graduate programs in public relations studies.

鈥淭eaching in another country and providing knowledge to future PR professionals was truly an experience of a lifetime,鈥� said Kennedy.

鈥淭he students were incredibly engaged and interested in the Canadian content presented. They loved learning more about PR in Canada.鈥�

Kennedy graduated from the Kwantlen public relations program in 2002, and has worked and taught at Kwantlen since 2005. She also founded Crosspoint Communications, which she has owned and operated since 2007.

As a result, she didn鈥檛 need to go far for content. Lecture topics included social media, internal communications, crisis communications, event management and media relations.
