Chicago Day 2

Today was crazy.
We have been walking around Chicago in the freezing cold all day!
But, I loved getting to see so much of the city.

We met with Emily Waldren at The Field Museum.
I wish we could've spent more time there!
That place is huge and full of so many incredible artifacts from around the world.
Emily's job is very fascinating because she has to take new scientific discovery 
and find an angle to pitch it to the media.

Next, we met with Kevin Saghey from the Chicago Cubs.
Kevin was very down to earth and could relate to us seniors 
that will be looking for internships or jobs soon.
His biggest advice to us was to work hard and stand out.

After a short break we walked over to Fleishman-Hillard.
That building is amazing. 
Every building is amazing.
The architecture in Chicago is definitely in the top three reasons why I love this city. 
Anyway, after taking the elevator to the 37th floor,
(and our ears popping)
we made it to the Fleishman-Hillard office.
They gave an excellent presentation with a fun brainstorming exercise. 
I felt very welcomed there.
They talked a lot about their intern program, which seems very reputable. 

The appointments have been so enlightening into the PR industry, post-college.
Tomorrow we visit with Cision Point
and visit the Willis Tower!
For now, I will just try to stay warm.
