Peter Falvey is a Senior studying Communications at Misericordia University. Peter is originally from Wallingford, PA. He is graduating in the Winter of 2014. After Graduation, he is hoping to find a job in the Public Relations field.

When not in class, Peter enjoys hiking in Francis Slocum State Park. His most memorable outdoor experience was rafting down the Colorado River last summer. “Looking up on the walls of The Grand Canyon is a breath taking experience,” said Peter.
Peter knows this isn’t the average internship for a Communications major. “I don’t know any other people in my program that going to be dealing with AMD, or even know what it is for that matter. My goal is to fix that,” said Peter. “I’m looking forward to getting my hands dirty, both metaphorically and literally.”
Robert E. Hughes, EPCAMR Executive Director enthusiastically stated, “We’re glad to have Peter here for the Fall 2014, given his experience in writing, communications, social media applications, and connections with PR outlets that are existing from his work with Misericordia University. Peter is currently the President of the Public Relations Student Society of America and has created press releases, designed music, and directed Staff for Holiday Chic Peek, a large campus benefit that featured first season “Project Runway” winner Jay McCarroll. He’s even organized fundraisers and created advertising posters for events around campus. His background in writing news stories and feature stories for The Highlander, as a Staff Writer will come in handy. His knowledge of Final Cut Express, Adobe Creative Suite, WordPress, and Radio BOSS, shows his familiarity with technical proficiencies in multiple software platforms.
“Just because Peter lacks knowledge on AMD doesn’t mean that we wouldn’t bring him on as an intern. He will learn plenty in a few short months that will surely open his eyes to the water pollution problems that we deal with here in Northeastern and NorthCentral PA. His hometown area of Wallingford is about 9 miles North of Philadelphia and Crum Creek, his local watershed is certainly not impacted by AMD. College students have this false impression that an organization like ours may only be looking for scientific interns with biology, chemistry, environmental science, and GIS Majors and that is furthest from the truth. We like students who have backgrounds in the arts, landscape architecture, geology, history, photography, videography, communications, public relations, and other Majors that can add to our already growing staff and multi-disciplines that we work in everyday.” Robert emphasized.
“Peter is going to be helping us play a little catch up in terms of completing our 2012 and 2013 Annual Reports, recapping highlights of projects and programs that we’ve completed throughout the years. He is also going to be writing several stories for us on our recent grant awards and projects that we are working on throughout the EPCAMR Region with our partners in the Coalition. Already, Peter has set EPCAMR up with our own Twitter and Instagram Social Media pages on his first day with EPCAMR and will soon be working on a Tumblr account for us. Now, all we have to do is start utilizing them and posting pics and twitter feeds to the sites to increase our publicity and awareness of our work out there in the digital media world and gain followers and potentially future volunteers,” Robert rejoiced. Welcome Peter!
