About the Bateman Competition and LSU’s Bateman team
The PRSSA Bateman Case Study Competition asks teams of undergraduate public relations students nationwide to apply their classroom education to create and implement a full public relations campaign. This year’s competition asks teams to raise awareness for the Lymphoma Research Foundation and its Adolescent and Young Adult Lymphoma initiative, which is supported by Founding Sponsor The Paul Foundation.
LSU’s 2022 Bateman team is undertaking this campaign and going one step further than the predefined goal by fundraising as part of its awareness efforts. Team members are Marie George, Hannah Michel Hanks (team captain), Rebecca Herin, Hannah Moran, Perla Rodriguez and Julia Watson. Its advisers include LSU professor Doug Draper and Harris, DeVille and Associates, Inc. associates Michelle Hultberg and Alisha Prather.
