My third year of my Ph.D. Program was another
whirlwind of
activities! I passed my comprehensive examinations and the
associated oral exam. My doctoral research proposal was also
accepted.
One of the highlights of this year was having Dr. John Cacciopo
talk to one of my classes via Skype. An audio copy of this discussion
can be found on this page.
I was also very pleased to have several papers
accepted to a numberprestigious conferences
with one
garnering a top paper award:
IMC June 2010 Weekend
event for Faculty & Staff at
West Virginia University
(I teach a
graduate Public Relations on-line course)
“The status quo of master’s
level public relations education in the
21st Century: A pedagogical dispute between theory and
application.”
presentation 2
“The risks and threats to the
academic library as the ultimate
knowledge source: A case study looking at the impact of Google
Books on academic libraries.”
