Fuller selected for fellowship

Bryony Fuller has been selected for the 2004 Duffey Communications Summer

Fellowship program, one of the most prestigious programs in the state.

The Peachtree City resident recently graduated from the University of Georgia,

where she majored in public relations.

Originally from Stoke-on-Trent, England, Fuller and her family have lived

in Peachtree City for the last 20 years. Fuller graduated with honors from

McIntosh High School, where she was a member of the soccer and cross-country

teams. She also played on the Peachtree City Lazers soccer team and has

been a member of the Peachtree City Running Club for the last six years.

Duffey Communications, based in Atlanta, created the 12-week Fellowship

program for top public relations students and recent graduates. The program

is part of the firm's partnership with UGA's Duffey Communications

Public Relations Writing Lab, which was created in 1999. As one of the

most recognized and awarded agencies in the country, Duffey provides Fellows

with first-class experience and a smooth transition from the classroom

to the workplace.

"In a profession where a college education alone is not enough to

be competitive, obtaining experience before graduation is a necessity for

young professionals who want to land

an entry-level position," said Chief Operating Officer Jenny Duffey. "With

such a high demand for internship positions, college students must choose

their internships wisely. Determine if your summer will be spent on clerical

duties or if you'll be getting experience that will show a future

employer that you can do the job."

With more than 100 candidates applying each summer, Duffey Communications

chooses its Fellows through a multi-layered application process designed

to narrow down the pool of qualified applicants to a select few. After

submitting a resume, cover letter, writing samples and an essay application,

a handful of Fellowship hopefuls are selected to interview for the position.

As the 2004 Duffey Fellow and Summa Cum Laude graduate of the University

of Georgia, Fuller says the Fellowship is an exciting and invaluable opportunity

to gain real world agency experience from the best in the business.

"The Fellowship lets me work as part of the team and pushes me to

take on bigger challenges. It offers much more experience than traditional

internships," said Fuller.
