Phil Bussey had just graduated from the BYU School of Communications when he interned for the Rockey Company in Portland, Oregon. Now, forty years later while serving as a mission president in Spain, Bussey received the 2020 Jay Rockey Lifetime Achievement Award from the Puget Sound Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America for his outstanding work and leadership in the public relations field.
“BYU opened my mind. I was given so many opportunities through professors who invested in me and a school that cared about its students. I have a big debt of gratitude to BYU” said Bussey.
“Of all the gifts that you have, it is so important to maintain your integrity. Having integrity opened so many doors and created so many successes because people knew we were true to our word. Being honest is so incredibly important. You’re not always going to be working, and you want to know that you’re good with yourself and what you’ve done.” #ArtsatBYU #byucomms #byualumni
