Celebrating Information and Communication

The life span of a good idea may be no more than an instant, if not captured and brought to fruition. I-Comm Week has been a great and enduring idea for heralding our college’s values and accomplishments across campus and to the broader community. Seven years ago, Dr. Shirley Staples Carter, then director of our School of Journalism and Mass Communications, proposed the I-Comm Week showcase. It’s grown to this year’s strong lineup of events through dedicated faculty and staff involvement and a good bit of hard work finding the right mix of events to highlight each of our disciplines.

So, at seven, we’ve added the iconic — and admittedly somewhat derivative — VII to our I-Comm Week logo. We didn’t want to be too presumptive too soon. But we think you will find this year’s lineup informative, insightful and even provocative. The presenters include alumni, academics and professionals. Two of my former CNN colleagues, Candy Crowley and Jamie McIntyre, will share insights on politics and the Pentagon. The journalism school’s distinguished alumna Rita Cosby will relate her father’s World War II experience and how it became her latest book. Alumnus and cartoonist Paul Jon Boscacci has a different, more humorous, life reflection on the military experience.

Our School of Library and Information Science kicks off the week with homage to Augusta Baker and storytelling as an underpinning for literacy. The SLIS fall series of conversations with Dr. David Carr focuses on “Communities of Aspiration” in our real communities.
