Congratulations to our undergraduate students who were recently selected to present their research at the National Communication Association Conference this November! This is an impressive accomplishment for these sophomore and senior students. These papers were developed using research conducted in two of Dr. Austin Lee’s courses in Fall 2018.

Graduate Students Complete Capstones
Eight of our Health and Strategic Communication master’s students completed capstone last month! They presented their evidence-based intervention projects to HCOM faculty, and topics included a bone marrow donation website called Let's Get This Match, a social media college student mental health campaign focused toward Asian-American students called Be S.M.A.R.T., a suicide prevention training presentation for U.S. veterans and their families called Help on the Home Front, and a college instructors' student mental help resource website called CU Care. The students are now off to varying new adventures, including entering the Ph.D. program in Communication at the University of Delaware, and starting positions at the AdCouncil and the San Luis Obispo County Department of Health.

Laura Roosevelt '17
Senior Specialist, Paid Media Strategy for Vail Resorts
“What has benefited me most in my career is how I was “raised” to be a young professional by the School of Communication and Chapman University: sending hand written thank you notes after interviews, speaking up in meetings, putting forward innovative ideas, challenging the status quo, recognizing it’s okay for the status quo to continue for the time being, networking, volunteering in my community, seeking a life and career that align with my personal values.”
