RU’s 2013 Communication Week

Dr. Bob says...

My students in CoMS104 anc CoMS326 should attend as many of these events as possible!

Journalism, broadcasting, Web publishing and public relations professionals -- many of them Radford alumni -- will be on campus the first week in April to share their experiences and career advice with students. Calendar below.

Look for updates to this schedule on the School of Communication home page or its Facebook page. I copied the schedule to this separate page to add links to information about the speakers, but I may miss last-minute changes. Explore!
