PRO Field Trip to GA Aquarium - Spring 2008

The Public Relations Organization took a field trip to the Georgia Aquarium April 17, 2008 to visit the Georgia Aquarium in nearby Atlanta. PRO was able to borrow a JSU academic van, and 5 students and two faculty members left the university at 6 am Jacksonsonville time (CST) Thursday morning to try and "beat the traffic" into Atlanta. The trip up there was successful , as traffic was light until they hit the city, and they were able to meet Ashley Payne, a PR Specialist for the aquarium, as scheduled at 9:30 am (EST). The trip was a huge success, as the group was lead on a behind-the-scenes tour, enterring the aquarium a half hour before it opened for the public. The tour guide, Ashley, stayed with the group for about an hour and a half, and then the group dispersed to investigate parts of the five sections within the aquaium that they had not visiited during the guided tour. After leaving the aquarium, the group visited The Varsity, a famous eatery adjacent to Georgia Tech University, before returning to Jacksonville.
