The COMMchella music lineup will be headlined by SNACKTIME, a popular band based in Philadelphia. Members of the Rutgers University Marching Band will kick-off COMMchella followed by Deep Treble, Rutgers University’s premier co-ed a cappella group that recently finished second place in the 2024 ICCA Mid-Atlantic quarterfinals and is comprised exclusively of Rutgers University students including Celina Del Duca, COM’24. Deep Treble will be followed by Jake Thistle, COM’26. Thistle was awarded Indie Boulevard’s “Best Americana Song of 2022” for his song “Ghosted Road.” Other music acts scheduled to perform include Ophiocoma and Kyphosis which both include Rutgers students as bandmates.
In addition to the music, COMMchella will offer a variety of other free activities to support the academic and professional growth of Rutgers communication majors. The SC&I office of career services will host interactive career conversations, resume writing clinics and a LinkedIn photographer offering students free professional headshots to help enhance their online presence. Members of Rutgers student organizations focused on the communication major, related skills and professions will also attend the event and engage with attendees. These include RU Sure, Scarlet PR, PRSSA, Rutgers Public Speaking Organization, Rutgers Riot Squad, and SC&I’s Master of Communication and Media (MCM) Graduate Student Association.
