I could not recommend Dr. Colleen Palmer more! She is an impeccable professor and mentor. I am lucky to have had Colleen as a professor and now a professional mentor in my post-grad endeavors. Through years of knowing, learning, and working with Colleen I have grown as a student and a professional. She provides a vast array of knowledge and experience for all of her students. The dedication and heart she gives to her clients is unmatched. She cares deeply about education, her field, and the future of the industry. Not only is Colleen an amazing professor and mentor, but she is a delight to work with professionally and personally . In the field of Public Relations, one of the first things you learn is how to listen. Colleen not only listens but she truly understands. She makes sure her clients are heard and that there is an understanding among everyone. She keeps a positive, upbeat demeanor which makes every interaction enjoyable.
