Office of Public Relations

Public relations did not make this wiki.

They made the official Knox College Web site.

The Public Relations (PR) Office is open weekdays from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and is located on the first floor of the E-wing of SMC. Their Campus Box number is K-233, phone number is 309-341-7337, fax number is 309-341-7718, and e-mail is pr@knox.edu

Student Opinion

The PR Office publishes the Knoxletter and maintains a calendar for the campus. The student body however largely ignores those two publications in the sense that the student body gets their information from other sources, according to a recent Student Senate survey.

While The Wiki Fire was not listed in the survey, it is likely one of the sources from which students get information. One can only imagine how P.R. feels about this.
