CAHSS Faculty and Graduate Students Publish articles in Communication Center Journal

Faculty from the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, and the Executive Director of the NSU Writing and Communication Center (WCC) co-edited and published an article in the fall 2019 issue of Communication Center Journal (CCJ).  Janine Morris, Whitney Lehmann, and Kevin Dvorak wrote, “Social Media and Communication Centers: An Introduction.”

The article introduces the CCJ special section on social media and communication centers by discussing how centers can best use social media to enhance student professional development, cross-campus connections, branding, and center visibility.

To follow up from the introduction, CAHSS Master’s students in Composition, Rhetoric, and Digital Media and WCC graduate assistant coordinators and administrative staff published “Expanding Professional Development Opportunities for Consultants: How to Incorporate Social Media into a Communication Center,” in the fall 2019 themed section.

Nikki Chasteen, Monique Cole, and Adam DeRoss’s article discusses how communication centers can develop a social media presence to highlight their achievements and services while providing professional development opportunities to staff members. As the three write, “While devoting time and resources to enhancing and engaging students and other institutional members on social media can seem overwhelming, we present implementation strategies that have been successful for our communication center social media growth” (113).

“Taking everything I have learned about social media both academically at NSU and professionally, and applying it to communication centers and specifically the WCC has been rewarding. Writing with my peers collaboratively was such a positive experience,” said Chasteen.
