Terrie Ard Participates in FSU Professional Panel

Florida State University’s (FSU) College of Communication's Career Future class, lead by Dr. Ann Korzenny, hosted a panel of professional leaders to address students. Moore Consulting Group’s (MCG) Terrie Glover Ard, senior vice president, was among the panel participants, which provided the audience with various perspectives on the communications industry. The dialogue ranged from how to strike a work/life balance to professional development opportunities and local industry issues.

“Moore Consulting Group has been extremely fortunate throughout the years in being able to draw upon the great pool of talent offered by our local universities,” said Ard. “I was honored to have the opportunity to connect with students and hopefully play a role in their ongoing success.”

The panel event is the latest in Moore Consulting Group’s continued commitment to connecting higher education with real-world opportunities. MCG’s Susannah Wesley is also slated to speak to FSU’s student chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association later this year.
