This year I will be presenting in three different divisions/interest groups: CommSHER, the LGBTQ Interest Group, and the Public Relations Division. I’m eager to learn more about other divisions and reconnect with colleagues after a year of job hunting and dissertation work. Look for me at the PF&R panel for the Commission on Graduate Education on Monday at 4:30pm!

Looking forward to connecting with you
