Professor Amiee Shelton teaches public relations courses here at
Roger Williams University, but her dedication to her students goes far
beyond the classroom. As advisor to the 2010 Kohler Competition team,
the 2010 Bateman Competition team, and the Roger Williams University
PRSSA Chapter, Professor Shelton provides insight and support for the
public relations students at all hours. She is experienced in the PR
field and guides her students in the right direction with her "tough
love" mentality. Professor Shelton's classes are known as some of the
most difficult, but also the ones in which students learn the most.
Amiee Shelton makes a strong effort to be involved in student's
lives outside of class in order to understand their career goals. She
regularly posts job and internship listings on her blogs and informs
students of specific job opportunities that pertain to their specific
interests. She takes students on annual educational trips to Boston,
Los Angelos and New York City in order to meet with well known public
relations firms and departments in those areas. Multiple students over
the last few years have meet people through these trips who are now
their employers. Many internship opportunities have also arisen
because of contacts made during these trips. Amiee Shelton's
dedication to the many groups and individual students which she
advises makes her the perfect candidate for RWU Advisor of the month.
