I shouldn't admit it!

This is likely the last blog as I reflect on the process. The students did an incredible job. Our Comm program has an amazing reputation for undergraduate scholarship regionally (and I hope, soon, nationally). But, I leave the reader with this... As we were driving home on I-95, I needed to use the bathroom. And so... btw, you must be a frequent traveler on I-95 to sort of get this joke...

The Long Way Home!

The conference is over. Cortnee' and Jennifer did Columbia College very, very proud! The weather, though, is terrible, we're all tired, so we're going to stay in Wilmington another night and drive back early tomorrow morning!

UNC-W Faculty Band

The band (all UNC-W Comm Department faculty) gave us some great selections including: "Sittin on the Dock of the Bay", "Heard It On the Grapevine", "Proud Mary", and many more!

Surf's Up!

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer McGriff) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 13:48:00 +0000

Last night we had a blast at the Surf's Up! reception. Cortnee and I met some great students from UNC-Wilmington, College of Charleston and Coastal Carolina. There was great food (including fondu!) and we were entertained by an awesome band (made up of UNC-W faculty from the Comm Department!)

My First Panel!

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer McGriff) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 13:42:00 +0000

For the first time in my college career I presented a research paper and I had a blast! My panel was a lot of fun and my fellow panelists also had great topics. Getting ready for some more sessions and then we have our closing banquet. See you soon CC!

Jennifer Rocked!

Jennifer gave her presentation this morning and did a glorious job. It was so interesting and very well received by the audience.

Fun times!

drjmunsell@gmail.com (Dr. Jason Munsell) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 11:31:00 +0000

Had a good time at the reception last night. Ready to go for day 2. Jennifer presents her paper in about 30 minutes!

Ready for Tomorrow!

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer McGriff) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 22:28:00 +0000

Today started out great with Cortnee doing an awesome job on her panel. We awoke bright and early to make it on time. Afterward, we both went to a panel titled "The Rhetoric of Barack Obama" which was really cool. The panel consisted of faculty and one grad student who all analyzed some form of rhetoric from Barack Obama from his speech at the 2004 DNC to his inaugural address. We are about to get ready for the Surf's Up poolside party. I finished my outline for tomorrow so I'm gonna get some early shut eye so I can be refresed for my panel (it's at 8am, yikes!)

Business Meeting Done!

As president of CCA, I chaired our business meeting and I think we made a lot of good changes for the organization. On to the reception!

Cortnee' did a brilliant job. She worked very hard last night to revise some things, and it paid off. I was very, very impressed!!

My First Panel Ever!

noreply@blogger.com (Adore Fashion, Love Politics) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:41:00 +0000

Last night I got my presentation together it took me until about 1:30 am! But the end result was amazing! I felt so proud to represent my school and my major! Jennifer and I simultaneously woke up at 6:44. But when we arrived not many people were in attendance at the panel because a lot of people are driving in today and not to mention my panel started at 8:30am.... However, after I presented our own Dr. Munsell had to respond and I was thrilled that he was impressed with my presentation. My presentation ran exactly 10 mins. and I am having a great time. Jenn and I just grabbed some muffins from Port City Java and now Jenn is working feverishly on typing her outline...I'll keep you guys updated!

-Cortnee

First big day!

drjmunsell@gmail.com (Dr. Jason Munsell) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:53:00 +0000

Cortnee presents her research this morning at 8:30am! I'm looking forward to it. I also get to orally respond to her research and the 4 other papers on that panel. Should be fun!
