Ann Christiano: Introductions

Ann Christiano, a public relations professor and public interest communicator, demonstrates the importance a small number forward-thinking individuals had in shaping social movements throughout history. She argues that the tactics employed by students of public interest communications can change the world.

Ann Christiano is a public relations professor and the Frank and Betsy Karel Endowed Chair in Public Interest Communications. Public Interest Communications is an organization or group of organization taking on issues bigger than themselves. The organizations hope to enact social change, connecting with individuals and using tactics by public relations professionals to help achieve those ends. Ann curates the Frank gathering at the University of Florida, which brings together professional communicators and interested students to collaborate with the mission of “obsessively connecting people who speak for the greater good."
