the WRTC graduate student committee to create a diverse conversation on various communication topics among
graduate students from around the nation.

State University, where she has taught since 1973. She received her Ph.D. in Communication and Rhetoric from
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1980. She was Visiting Associate Professor at Michigan Tech and Penn State in 1988,

allowed 20-minutes to speak with a 15-minute panel at the end for questions.

Roundtable Discussion
Four graduate presenters will lead the roundtable discussion about our theme of New Media, New Ideas. Each graduate
student will be given a question in advance and will have 4-5 minutes to state his/her opinion. After each mini
presentation, the discussion is open to the audience.
