The Sooner Communication Conference is an OU CGSA organized event joining faculty and students from schools throughout the region and the nation. The Conference presents an opportunity for students and faculty to discuss developments in theory and research across the communication discipline and for students to fine-tune research papers for other conferences and possible publications. Gatherings like the Sooner Communication Conference constitute the heart and soul of what we are about as academics. Students who have been involved in past Sooner Conferences have found the experience to be invaluable and the relationships that were formed to be lasting. This year it was held last weekend, March 2nd and 3rd.

Each year the University College hosts the Majors/Minors Fair during the spring semester. Each year the fair has a theme, for 2012 the theme was iDream. Awards are given to departments during the fair for several categories. This year the Department of Communication's display designed by Jessica A. Bogard, one of our department's PhD candidates and our Assistant Academic Counselor, was awarded Best Interpretation of Theme. The Department of Communication will hold on to the trophy until next year when it will be presented to that year's winner.
