UIS represented at UICC conference

Several graduate students in UIS' Communication program made a debut appearance at the University of Illinois Communication Collaboration held March 2 in Urbana. The conference invites students from all three U of I campuses to share their research interests. This was the first time since the conference began four years ago that UIS sent students to the event.

Graduate students Rochelle Arjmand and Wesley Wasmundt presented papers about their research. Arjmand's paper was titled "The Changing Face of Media: Exploring the Effect of Media Conglomeration on the Broadcast Industry." Wasmundt's paper was titled "Faculty Attitudes toward Educational Technology in 'Smart' Classrooms at UIS."

UIS was also represented by students Meredith Long and Jessica Zaiz-Stanley as well as Communication faculty members Kathy Jamison and Mary Bohlen. Jamison has agreed with UICC organizers to bring the conference to the Springfield campus in the future.
