The Communication Honors Thesis: A Sheep in Wolves’ Clothing?
When many students hear the words, “honors thesis” as far as they are concerned the words may as well have been, “Unnecessary hard work.” It is hard to blame them; the requirements of writing a thesis, successfully defending it before a committee, and presenting it at a departmental colloquium do seem daunting. Regardless of how intimidating attaining Communication Honors may seem however, year after year multiple Communication majors still take the thesis path.
So why do they do it? Read more...

Congratulations to Caitlin Augustus. winner of the New York Times Letter to the Editor Contest!
Caitlin Augustus, senior communication major, wrote a heartfelt letter to the Springfield News Sun around Christmas concerning those less fortunate in our city. In her letter she advocated, in her words, "gratefulness, compassion, and, most important, action." She called upon the city of Springfield to not turn a blind eye to the people who have little to be thankful for, but to reach out to them regardless of how busy people may be. The letter was published on December 16th, and the Communication Department would like to commend Caitlin for her effort. Hopefully through her words lives can be touched throughout the greater Springfield area.

Featured Senior Communication Major: Keeley Buehler 
When Keeley Buehler came to Wittenberg, she wasn’t exactly sure what her major would be, but she did know one thing – she wanted to work with fashion. If you ever have the pleasure of meeting her, you’ll understand why right away - Keeley is one of those people that, no matter what the weather, will be looking sharp every day of the week. When Keeley found as a freshman that there were no design or merchandizing programs at Witt, she knew she would have to look to other departments to channel her love of style into something workable. Luckily for her, she met Dr. Matthew Smith.
