The Bateman National Case Study Competition
The Bateman Competition is a case study competition held by PRSSA National annually. A team of 4-6 students must plan, implement and execute a full-fledged campaign in the Burlington community for a client chosen by PRSSA. Past clients have included Ally Financial, The US Census, General Mills and more. The application process begins in late September, planning begins in November, the campaign is implemented in February and the complete campaign write-up is due in March. This is a serious commitment and is geared towards Junior and Senior communications students with prior experience. Please contact Dr. Frances Ward-Johnson (fward2@elon.edu), Bateman Adviser, for more information.
