If there is one word to describe the National Communication Association Conference, it would be overwhelming! With over hundreds seminars, scholar to scholar series, short courses, seminars, preconference roundtables, distinguished lectures, open office hours, forums, and social gatherings over the course of 4 days, experiences at the conference were endless. Thanks to a few structured events, and the input from experienced faculty and Ph.D. students, I was able to put together a conference itinerary that not only complemented my MCIS studies, but my personal and social interests as well. |
