DISTINGUISHED LECTURE IN PUBLIC RELATIONS

The Vernon C. Schranz Distinguished Lectureship in Public Relations, the nations first endowed public relations lectureship, is proudly hosted by Ball State University. The Ball Corporation of Muncie, Indiana established the lectureship in 1979 to recognize its first public relations officer, Vernon C. Schranz, and his 25 years of outstanding service. The lecture series has brought national leadership in public relations to the Ball State campus, offers an examination of the developing status of the public relations profession and creates a forum for the expression of new ideas and concepts.
