Public Relations. I am proud to be a member of a faculty whose mission includes preparing students for real-world competitions in public relations, advertising, research, and journalism.

Guinness Book of World Records. In l997, a student team I advised (in Comm 455, P.R. Case Studies) won the New England Publicity Club's.

(Link to New England Publicity Club-to come) Bell Ringer. The Bell Ringer is the 30-year-old Club's highest award for excellence. To win, our students mounted a splendid publicity campaign for promote awareness of a bike-for-charity event. The l6,000-mile ride which gained national attention and secured a place for the athletes in the l998 Guinness Book of World Record. Publicity appeared on all local and some national TV channels and in dozens of newspapers from them Boston Globe to the Santa Monica Evening Outlook to the South American press. Inside Edition did a special. National Public Radio did a feature. The College was honored by The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, an event sponsor.

Research. In Spring l999, a student in my Comm Research course (Comm 300, Research Methods) developed a research project that was jury-selected for presentation at DePauw University in Indiana.

Advertising. Students from my Advertising classes have entered the locally based Hatch Awards.

Student Honored for His Research

I designed and teach Comm Research Methods (Comm 300). The course -- a requirement -- is considered challenging. Even difficult. But students have produced high-quality research studies in a broad range of Comm-related areas from Journalism to Family Communications. More than 30 student projects have been featured at all-College research fairs and in Spring l999 a Comm student produced a project jury-selected to be presented at the prestigious 25th Anniversary Honors Undergraduate Research symposium of DePauw University in Indiana.

Klips Magazine Project

In l997 three Honors students worked wit me to develop a prototype of a magazine called Klips (articles "clipped" from the popular press). The project was the basis of these students' Senior Thesis.
