A former resident of Long Island's Glen Cove, Erin Bergano serves as part of the campus recruitment program at Morgan Stanley in New York, and has held this role since 2015. Prior to taking on this position, Erin Bergano studied public relations at the University of Rhode Island, where she made the dean's list and completed an internship with the Rhode Island Library Association.
The public relations program at the University of Rhode Island offers a bachelor's degree that draws on a diverse range of disciplines including art, communications, and writing, in addition to dedicated public relations courses. Students must complete an introductory public relations course and an introductory communications course before being accepted into the major.
Students in the public relations program must also choose a concentration in order to graduate. Students can learn how to address the needs of new businesses in the entrepreneurial public relations program. In the event management concentration, meanwhile, students learn how to coordinate events while they develop their art and design skills. The final concentration, social media, leans more heavily on writing than the others, and also focuses on communicating effectively using new media.
