The 2020 University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Bateman team earned an honorable mention in this the national Bateman competition, sponsored by the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA).

The team, consisting of four public relations students, planned and implemented a public relations campaign for the U.S. Census Bureau to raise awareness and participation in the 2020 census. Over 57 teams from across the country participated in this year’s Bateman campaign.

Senior public relations majors Morgaine Prather, of Milwaukee; Alexis Ratliff, of Kenosha; Haley Reeson, of Blanchardville; and Lydia Westedt, of La Valle, created the campaign, “20/20 Oshkosh: Count Osh In.” Designed to bring census awareness to UW Oshkosh students and Oshkosh area renters, the campaign’s goal was to ensure that Oshkosh residents knew the importance of counting themselves in the 2020 census.
