Public Relations University Profile: Howard University John H. Johnson School of Communications

Did you know that Howard University was the first historically black college or university to offer a public relations course?   That happened in 1971, and  by 1986, the Department of Journalism began offering public relations as a major sequence for its students.

As this video demonstrates, The John H. Johnson School of Communications at Howard University is a prime example of communicators doing more with less, but should they have to?  The university is embarking on a campaign to build a new, state-of-the-art facility and is seeking support.
