First Blog!

I would like to dedicate this writing source to Ohio University's National Communications Association Student Club and the Academic Committee that we have recently created within our group. The Academic Advancement Committee's focus is on academic pursuits of the students within our club, their interests in higher education, and creating a voice between student and faculty. NCASC will be hosting our first quarterly dialogue forum this winter which will highlight connections to life, theory and communications. We hope to bring in professors from the communications department, graduate students studying communcations, and will be promoting the dialogue as an event open to any student who would like to participate.
The purpose of our blog is to bring awareness about NCASC and most importantly for students and faculty alike to present things they are learning about communications. Essentially, whether it be how communications seems to overlap in an unlikely or unexpected way such as in the classroom or on television, or if there is something happening in your life that applies to what you learned in class that day. At my three years at Ohio University communications has started to mold the way I think, analyze and interpret everyday occassions, and I know my professors would be proud to hear that. Let it be, the documentation of those times in life. And now, I am figuritively placing my imaginary sword on this blog's right and left shoulders. Enjoy!
