This semester I will have my first academic sabbatical to work on research projects related to big data, social media fatigue, and citizen engagement in digital spaces. Excited to see what this time brings … for now, I am working on the weirdness of not creating syllabi and prepping for classes for the first time in a decade :).
Luckily, I have this joker to keep me in line and motivated!
Excited to be in London for the month of June with 18 students from the TCU Strategic Communication program. We will be exploring the city and surrounding area and doing a variety of cultural activities including visits to the Globe Theatre, British Museum, Windsor War Rooms, Oxford, Windsor Castle, the Brand Museum, and the London offices of Ogilvy & Mather ad agency. It is going to be an active, fun-filled trip!
Very proud of this group of students for placing second in District 10 at the National Student Advertising Competition this year. Their campaign for Tai Pei Asian Food focused on “The Tai Pei Path” to comfort, convenience, and customization.
We graduated another talented group of public communicators from the Certified Public Communicator program at TCU in July. This group consisted of public sector communicators from agencies across the nation, including cities, counties, school districts, and regional education offices. A total of 23 students graduated this year in Cohort III, with another 25 communicators beginning the program as Cohort IV. For more information, visit www.certifiedpubliccommunicator.org.
