I’m an incoming Junior studying Public Relations and Communication Studies major with a Marketing minor at the University of Miami. This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to France for the Cannes Lions Study Abroad Program through the School of Communication. After spending 12 days exploring and immersing ourselves in French culture, we attended the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity—the world’s largest and most prestigious gathering for advertising, marketing, and creative communications. It was an unforgettable experience filled with inspiration, innovation, and insight into where the future of creativity is headed.
