Danyelle Carter, C’2016, is having a whirlwind of a summer. Fresh off the heels from studying Japanese and cross-cultural communications at Josai International UniversityĀ in Chiba, Japan, the comparative women’s studies major is now serving as a UNCF Public Relations Internship, Mentoring and Education scholar. Based in Miami, Florida, Carter works in Univision’s Miami, Florida, office, where she reports to the vice president of consumer and entertainment public relations on the corporate communications team. Sponsored in partnership with the PRSA Foundation, the PRIME Scholars Program provides internships, professional development training and education in the public relations field. The program aims to create a clear conduit for African Americans to enter the public relations industry through student recruitment and support, institutional capacity-building and employer engagement. While in Japan, Carter conducted research at Josai’s Gender and Women’s Studies Institute on the development of comparative critical perspectives on women’s literature, writing, and broadening the scope of gender critics and theory.
