All students, faculty, staff and community members will be excited to see the excellent line up of speakers and special events that are coming to campus for this university-wide event.

Comm Week is a planned and implemented by a student taskforce, this year 23, and guided by two faculty advisors, Dennis Gaschen and Pamela Caldwell. The backbone of the event is the tremendous encouragement from faculty who provide speaker contacts and offers their class time for the “Professor of the Day” program. In addition, Peggy Bockman, the assistant dean for student affairs for Communications, works with the taskforce and clubs and organizations on campus to develop a number of exciting collaborations.

During the week of April 21-26 there is literally something for everyone. Here are a few samples:

The internationally acclaimed photojournalist, Tom Franklin, (Pulitzer nominee for the 911 flag raising) will make a photo presentation.
A panel of Foreign Correspondents speaking on the Iraq Invasion.
A Poetry Slam, with cash prizes for participants will be hosted at the Off Campus Pub.
A Forensic Showcase will highlight the colleges nationally recognized debate team.
A Career Focus day will provide up-to-the-minute insight into getting that first job, how to dress for success and even, being your own boss.
Alumni Mentor Luncheon pairs professionals with our student leaders and Dean’s List recipients!
This is just a very small sampling. To find out the real scoop checkout the website at http://communications.fullerton.edu/commweek.

There are daily additions and updates from now until the event.

We hope to see you there.
