Last week, 98Forward was proud to be present at Wayne State University's 21st annual PRSSA Breakfast (Wayne State PRSSA), where we continue our commitment to the next generation through the Berg Muirhead Scholarship for Public Relations Student Advancement.

Established in honor of our founders, Bob Berg and Georgella Muirhead, this scholarship supports public relations students who demonstrate academic excellence and a clear commitment to shaping the future of our industry.

As we mark 10 years of our scholarship investment in emerging talent, we remain focused on building a stronger, more representative pipeline of communicators and leaders right here in Detroit. Congratulations to our Berg Muirhead Scholars and all of this year’s awardees!

A few words can say a lot, but together, they tell a bigger story.

As we close out Women’s History Month, 98Forward collaborated with Wayne State PRSSA to amplify the voices of emerging communicators who will shape the future of our industry.

This partnership is purposeful. Because investing in the next generation of women in PR isn’t optional, it’s necessary.

And we’re proud to be part of that work.

Behind every message, campaign, and story is a communicator shaping how the world understands it.

This Women’s History Month, we’re recognizing the legacy and leadership of Black women in public relations whose voices, strategy, and vision have helped define the industry.

Their words continue to shape how we communicate, advocate, and lead.

3,000 new lights are coming to Detroit’s residential streets. $10 million invested. And the community gets a say in where they go.

We’re proud to work alongside our client The Public Lighting Authority of Detroit with Mayor Mary Sheffield on a rollout that’s built around the people it serves.

Community input meetings start in April, with installation beginning July 2026.

Brighter blocks, safer neighborhoods, real progress.
