When I defended my dissertation several years ago, a committee member remarked that he liked the idea of sending me back into a communication program with my doctoral degree in higher education. I like my intersection between the two overarching interests, and will share what I have learned, and am learning, along the way.
Research and teaching highlights from my CV are included on this blog, and I encourage you to send me a note at skmaben@gmail.com. For now, I want to give a few resources with acronyms, of course!
SWECJMC - http://swecjmc.wp.txstate.edu/ - Our annual Southwest Symposium will be Nov. 4-5, 2016, in West Memphis, Ark.
