Thank you from Dr. Natasha Casey

Dr. Natasha Casey, assistant professor of communication, would like to extend thanks to those in the LLCC community who took the time (especially during these very busy few weeks of the semester) to help her public speaking students (who are required to give locally themed informative and persuasive speeches and interview a local expert) and interpersonal communication students with their informational interviews. You helped make students’ speeches and final projects stronger by giving generously of your time and expertise and demonstrating the value of networking within the LLCC community. Thank you.
