Third Annual End-of-Year BBQ
April 28, 2008
The Third Annual End-of-Year BBQ was held at the home of Professor Diana Karol-Nagy. Many Communication Studies graduates were in attendance. The NCASC members and CWOC faculty joined them as well. This year our BBQ was catered by Tori's Bar-B-Q and the food was fabulous! This year we honored two outstanding Communication Studies Minors, Brynn Huysman and Kayla Stanley, our first-ever tie for this award. Honored as Top Communication Studies Pre-Professional was Jim Careccia.
Our transition team became our new Executive Board. Congratulations are in order to our new officers: President, Morgan Howard; Vice-President and Membership Chair, Carty Seay; and Treasurer and VP of Communications, Jackie Azis. Our new E-Board is ready to hit the ground running, starting with classroom visits during Summer B and the Fall. Look for more information on how YOU can become a member of this national organization!
