Rudolph F. Verderber Distinguished Lecture Series Brings Communication Scholars to Campus
Beginning in 1999, Professor Rudolph Verderber generously sponsored a lecture series that the faculty requested in his name. The purpose of the lecture series is to bring established scholars in the field of Communication to the University of Cincinnatis Department of Communication. This years event will take place on February 6. The speaker is Dr. Karlyn Kohrs Campbell, professor and chair of Communication Studies at The University of Minnesota.
In addition to informal meetings with faculty and graduate students, our visiting scholars are asked to give two lectures. For the first lecture, we ask visiting scholars to tell their story of how they became a communication scholar. This lecture is designed for an undergraduate audience and should have a broad-based appeal. It is intended to motivate our undergraduate students not only to become communication professionals, but also to experience the diversity of what communication professionals do. Dr. Campbell will present Successes and Challenges as a Woman in the Academy to undergraduates at 9:30 a.m. in Annie Laws Auditorium.
The second lecture is designed to acquaint faculty and graduate students with visiting scholars current research. Dr. Campbell will present Buried in Cincinnati: Frances Wright--A New Aspasia or Princess of Beelzebub to faculty and graduate students at 3:00 p.m. at The Faculty Club. A reception for faculty and graduate students will immediately follow the lecture.
