Walmart concluded that it can and should be doing more when it comes to social justice issues. I respect Walmart for being able to identify how it can be better and actually taking actions to improve. Being authentic and transparent is so important. #SocCommDays #PRethics

"We are going to continue to innovate and chart new territory in social commerice," says White. It is inspiring to hear that a large company like Walmart has such a good balance between conducting business and giving back to people. #SocCommDays #PRethics

“Our ultimate goal is to make our customer’s lives easier. No customer should have to sacrifice cost or convenience. It’s about the right shopping solution at the right time,” says White as he reflects on the launch of Walmart plus. @Walmart #SocCommDays

[Jessica Shechtman @jmshecht]

"Life's most precious gift is time," says White. Walmart launched Walmart+ to help customers save time shopping so that they can spend more time doing the things matter most. Love that Walmart is trying to better customers' lives in unique ways! #SocCommDays #PRethics

While discussing corporate responsibilities during the pandemic White states, "We've had to show up in a world where customers expect more." I completely agree that large corporations have the duty to help their consumers in any way they can. #SocCommDays #PRethics

White believes that Walmart has a moral responsibility to due good due to its size and scale. Super interesting to hear how a real company engages in CSR as this is what my ethics class is currently discussing! #SocCommDays #PRethics

Super excited to hear from the CMO of Walmart, William White at tonight's Newhouse event sponsored by the W2O Group #SocCommDays #PRethics

Thank you @NewhousePR for hosting such a wonderful event this morning. I gained so much insight on the interview process from Professor Horn, De'Aira Anderson and Samantha Miller that I will surely remember throughout my job search! #PRethics #NewhousePRCareerBootcamp

"We want people with a variety of experiences, a variety of backgrounds and a variety of thoughts because at the end of the day it makes us better." -De'Aira Anderson #PRethics #NewhousePRCareerBootcamp

[Jessica Shechtman @jmshecht]

The word purpose has a double meaning: your personal purpose and the purpose of the organization. From an ethical standpoint, balancing both is essential. It is important to work for an organization with values that align with your own. #PRethics #NewhousePRCareerBootcamp

[Jessica Shechtman @jmshecht]

You have to be willing to show your personality and deeper passions in an interview. You never know who feels the same way and can end up connecting with your interviewer just by being yourself! #PRethics #NewhousePRCareerBootcamp

[Jessica Shechtman @jmshecht]

Professor Horn's Five Ps for success is a great tool to carry with you and refer to while preparing for interviews in the PR industry! Thank you for sharing @BradHornPR ! #PRethics #NewhousePRCareerBootcamp

[Jessica Shechtman @jmshecht]

As a senior graduating this semester, I value Anderson's advice to use an interview as an opportunity to interview the organization and make sure it will be a good fit for you as well! #PRethics

“Have you had the opportunities to safely have this dialogue growing up?” @orlandopbailey asks panelists @3Maya, Professor Biko Gray and Jalen Nash. #MindfulInclusionSu

“I lead with radical love” @orlandopbailey starts the important conversation for #MindfulInclusionSu

“It is important to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.” -Student Jalen Nash #MindfulInclusionSU

It is important to think about the fact that unconscious bias is built into the structure of America, and people don’t even realize that they’re making assumptions and feeding into biased media messages. #MindfulInclusionSU

[Jessica Shechtman @jmshecht]

To really achieve equity on this campus, the university has to spend the money and restructure the system to acknowledge the forgotten and marginalized groups who have put in the work to make this place what it is. #MindfulInclusionSU

“We can’t continue to make excuses for somebody not being at the table. It has to stop here and it starts now and it starts with you.” -Professor Regina Luttrell #MindfulInclusionSU
