The university, which was founded in 1979 in St. Augustine, Florida, is a for-profit, private university offering graduate-level programs in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, nursing, and health care administration. The university has 5 locations (St. Augustine, Miami, Austin, Dallas and San Marcos, California), and the scope of work for this project will be only to support the Florida campuses (Miami and St. Augustine) by working with Joe Cockrell, the Executive Director of Communications and Media Relations.

The desired one-year contract will encompass:

• Proactive media relations to garner earned media placements in Florida (Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville/St. Augustine) in support of the university’s reputation-building plan

• Story mining sessions with faculty and staff at the Miami and St. Augustine campuses (2-3 per year)
