Two of Business Communication's professors and Faculty in the Halls mentors, Dr. Leeanne Bell McManus and Chip Rouse, hosted a ChickFilA night on Thursday, April 6, 2017, for their first-year residents in Western Run Hall. The event corresponded with pre-registration preparation, so the faculty could answer any questions from the first-year students and help calm their jitters about fall schedules. It was a great success, as students found the Hall of Fame room in Caves by following the delicious scent. Many students stayed for the men's volleyball game afterwards.

Here, Zig and his mentor stop in front of photos of Ravens Stadium, where the company is currently working on a few projects.
Senior Jackie Cooper (on the left in the photo) doesn't seem to mind the commute to Washington, D.C., for her internship at Boston Environmental and Contracting, Inc., in the marketing and corporate communication department. Under the mentorship of Monsio Love Joof, Jackie has been working to renovate the company's website so that it not only is more appealing, but so that it more clearly targets the company's various clients and audiences. Jackie has also produced new marketing materials for the company's communications.
