AY 2011-2012 Spotlighting Communication Faculty… 2011 Fall Communication Scholarship Showcase (CSS)— Karen Brewster & Melissa Shafer & 2012 CSS Spring Mixer— Andrew Dunn & Andrew Herrmann
Thank you…Karen Brewster, Melissa Shafer, Andrew Herrmann, and Andrew Dunn for being the featured scholars during the AY 11-12 Communication Scholarship Showcase (CSS). 2011 Fall CSS Karen & Melissa were joined by Judy Slagle (Chair, Literature & Language) & Don Good (Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis). Participants shared valuable information about the hidden world of academic book publishing. Their discussion reached audience members from at least three (3) different departments and two (2) different colleges. 2012 Spring CSS Research Mixer Andrew D. & Andrew H. talked about their fascinating research to about 20 Communication faculty/staff. It was a high energy, riveting discussion, covering avatars, the Internet, ethnographies, and personal narratives. The two CSS events reached around 60 people in and outside our department. I received wonderful feedback about our colleagues, their presentations, and their work.

2013 Spring CSS Research Mixer For spring, we’re shifting our spotlight a bit. In the coming years, we’ll return to highlighting faculty scholarly accomplishments and programs of study.
But for now… the Spring Mixer will focus on identifying and securing support for your scholarship.
That’s right! We’re putting the fun in fun-ding. For example, do you know the resources available to you on this campus? Until Spring 2013, learning about the ETSU Research & Development Committee (RDC) is a good starting point: http://www.etsu.edu/research/rdc/default.aspx RDC funding has already supported a number of our scholarly projects (For example, Amber, John, Shara, me). Watch your email for the date, time & place!
