Henley Earns APR
October 2011
Teri Henley recently earned Accreditation in Public Relations (APR), the public relations profession’s national post-graduate certification program.
APR certifies the practitioner’s knowledge of the practice of public relations and is administered by the Universal Accreditation Board.
Henley teaches advertising and public relations writing and campaigns courses at The University of Alabama and advises Capstone Agency, the student-run public relations and advertising agency. She brings to the classroom 10 years experience in public relations, plus 20 years experience in integrated marketing communications.
“Achieving APR certifies that I am teaching the industry standards in the classroom and enables me to credibly encourage my students to pursue APR at the proper time in their career,” said Henley.
