Communication Professors George Vaughn, Elizabeth Workman-Fines and Natasha Casey recently attended the Illinois Communication and Theater Association Conference at Heartland Community College in Normal, Illinois, where they learned from a variety of workshops and presentations including “Pedagogies of Risk” (taught by Dr. Asif Wilson, UIUC), “Small Teaching” and IAI requirements for public speaking. Many thanks to the arts and communication department and the vice president, academic services for support in helping make this trip possible.
