Business Communication professor Stephanie Verni kicked off National Novel Writing Month with a presentation to interested students and staff about getting their first novel started. As the author of three novels herself, Verni spoke with confidence about the challenges and joys of writing.
Two Business Communication faculty members who serve as mentors to the residents in Western Run Hall hosted a "Decorate your own spooky cupcake" night to celebrate Halloween as well as October birthdays in the residence hall. Over 90 cupcakes and nearly 10 pounds of buttercream frosting later, Leeanne Bell McManus and Chip Rouse called it a night. The first-year students were both imaginative and silly as they frosted and decorated their cupcakes. The Faculty in the Halls program includes eight faculty members who serve as another point of contact for resident life at Stevenson.
Alum Jen Antonelli reached out to the department of Business Communication to let us know she has an exciting new job. She just started working for The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults (the organization with which she ran across the country) as their 4K for Cancer Program Coordinator - Events and Recruitment. She will focus on organizing events for the runs and rides and recruiting college students to participate in the cross-country events.
In the photo, Brianna ("Bri") Buttner is busy checking the credentials of all attendees of the Washington Automotive Press Association (WAPA) Rally and Awards ceremony Oct. 20, 2017. Her internship with Business Communication alum Amanda Calcado at Event Solutions International gave Bri access to the rally, luncheon and awards ceremonies. Event Solutions International schedules many test drives of new and specialty automobiles so that journalists can evaluate them.
"I can't believe I got to meet automotive journalists whose articles and blogs I have been reading for years," said Bri. "It was such an exciting experience and I felt like I really contributed to the event management."
