Future Camp

At the end of our social media course, all of the 2C's attended Future Camp. Our Future Camp was a great recap of the year. We collaboratively devised a plan to uphold and expand our Humber PR network.



We discussed possible future networking events and the frequency of the events. We have decided to uphold and continue our Why Not Wednesdays after we graduate, once every one or two months.

At Future Camp we created some long and short term goals:

Increase and expand our network by holding more events with 1C students

Utilize social media to stay connected; Twitter hash tags, Facebook groups etc.

Create a time capsule from our time at Humber, to be opened in 5 years at a reunion party

Our Future Camp allowed us to create further smaller networks within our larger class network. We were divided into smaller groups based our professional interests and the public relations area we think we are most likely to practice in. There were seven main areas of focus including: Corporate, Agency, Media Relations, Arts, Non-profit/Not-for-profit and Public Affairs and Social Media.

Future Camp was a great way to finish our Social Media course and reinforced the importance of networks.
