AU PR Students Participate in Bateman Case Study Competition, Educate about the Census

A group of AU public relations students are participating in the Bateman Case Study Competition, which assists the U.S. Census Bureau with ensuring college students and other select publics understand the importance of completing the Census and how and when that is done. More about AU's Bateman Team and the work its students are doing can be found here.

With the suspension of face-to-face instruction for the spring semester, the Bateman Team faces additional challenges. Though we have to change our tactics in light of students not being on campus, the goals of the campaign remains the same: to educate and engage.

To help achieve these goals, the Bateman students have created the Instagram account @count_au_in, which includes educational posts about the Census, and opportunities for AU students to engage with each other around this information. The account will be deactivated on March 21. Be sure to check it out to learn more about the Census!
