Community Connections Workshop Series

Community Connections Workshop Series

Beginning in the 2022/2023 academic year, the Communication Institute will hold 3-4 workshops. The goal of these workshops is to bring students and faculty from across campus together with professionals from our wider community for practical and hands-on education related to communication and issues of public concern. Topics could include the promotion of better journalism and government transparency, combatting online disinformation, protecting our digital privacy, and many more. Do you have an idea for a workshop? If so, please contact us and we would be happy to consider your proposal.
