Chris Pearsall '06 is recording his adventures and sharing his photos of the Beijing Olympics on his blog, The 08.08.08 Blog.  He is in Beijing to provide on-site media relations support for one of his public relations clients at the 2008 Olympic Games.

Before leaving, Pearsall reported, "We haven't gotten tickets to any of the events yet (we're working on it) but we're working with a few star athletes (you'll have to stay tuned [on the blog] to find out who!) and we're hoping to do some other site seeing in the meantime.  I've also developed an unhealthy obsession over seeing as many pandas as possible while I'm in China, so I'm sure I'll be busy."

Pearsall is an alumnus of the communication management and design (CMD) program and is an Account Executive with Manning Selvage and Lee Public Relations.  Also working the 2008 Olympics from CMD are Jessica Woodcome '08 who is interning with NBC in Beijing, and Brendan O'Keefe '10 who is interning with NBC for its Olympic coverage in New York City.
