Cortney Hicks, President
Major: College Student Development
Graduation: Master's
Spring 2011
I stumbled upon AWC as a freshman, not realizing that the organization would provide me with numerous professional development opportunities. AWC is a collaboration of professionals in the media field, including all of their different perspectives and skills. Last year our chapter took advantage of this wide array when we coordinated OSU’s first JB Communications Networking Expo, which was (hands-down) one of my best AWC experiences. It was an incredible internship-like experience. While at OSU, I interned with the Daily O’Collegian, the Stillwater Family YMCA and with my campus ministry, and worked with students as a Community Mentor, Counselor, Conference Assistant and JB Ambassador. Now I’ve fallen in love with promoting non-profits, helping students, and communicating effectively – which is why I’m in grad school for CSD and the Graduate Assistant for the Service-Learning Volunteer Center. AWC helped me realize how important it is to help our students – both with information and personal development.

I would love to do PR for the St. Louis Cardinals. I have interned at the OSU Service-Learning Volunteer Center. I also work at Joseppi's as a hostess. I joined AWC to gain access to opportunities that I would have never found on my own and to meet other students in my field.
Allison Broyles, Co-Vice President
Major: Public Relations
Graduation: Fall 2009
I am a public relations senior graduating in December 2009 with a French minor. I've interned at O'Neill Marketing Communications in Stillwater, OK and at Schanke Turnbo Frank PR in Tulsa, OK. I joined AWC to meet professionals and classmates in my field. Since joining, I have had the opportunity to learn from many professional women in communications. Helping with the first Career Networking Expo in Spring 2009 has been my favorite experience in AWC so far; I made a lot of great connections and helped other students to network with local professionals.
I hope to one day use my French in traveling and my PR career to help a cause or a company that I believe in.

I love being a part of AWC because it gives you the opportunity to connect and network with people across the entire industry of communications. It takes away the segregation of the different areas including advertising, public relations, broadcasting, journalism, sports media. In AWC, you get exposed to it all!
