About J227
Professor Jared Macary designed this course to teach students how to write deliverables as if they were working for a real company in the public relations field.
Macary created a fictitious consulting firm called Solvent Blue. The California-based company offers businesses advice and services for reducing their carbon footprint in the workplace. Visit the Solvent Blue website to learn more about the company’s background and mission.
In an effort to pursue corporate social responsibility, Solvent Blue launched The Upward Initiative.
The Upward Initiative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides no-cost conservation resources to private and tribal landowners in the American West. Solvent Blue provides most of the funding for the Upward Initiative, though the two act independently of each other. For more information on the Upward Initiative*, look at this subpage on the Solvent Blue website.
I act as an entry-level public relations associate for Solvent Blue. Each deliverable relates to Solvent Blue or the Upward Initiative.
*NOTE: Professor Macary has updated the course since 2022. Since then, “Upward Initiative” has been renamed “Guardian Project”.
