*As of fall 2001 the Student Association for Communication will now be known as the National Communication Association.

Mission Statement:

The National Communication Association is devoted to educating its members by helping them gain an understanding of communication and communication practices through workshops, guest speakers, and events. We will motivate and encourage our members to succeed by giving them valuable knowledge and preparing them for today, tomorrow, and beyond.

We are currently looking forward to having speakers come down and tell us about their careers in communication, networking, and joining the National Communications Organization. We are open to any student who has an interest in communication regardless of their major. We will also be getting involved in fund-raising and community service. New members are welcome to come at anytime.

Announcements:

Dues are $20 for the year and $15 for a semester. If you did not pay for the NCA membership, you can still be a member of NCA, but you will not get national recognition.

Anyone who is interested in joining Lambda Pi Eta should let us know and we will help you apply for it during this semester. To be eligible to join this prestegious organization, you must have at least 60 college credits with a 3.0 cumlative GPA. You must also have 12 communication credits with a 3.25 GPA. If you meet those requirements all you have to do is pay a $20 lifetime membership fee.

*NCA will be hosting a series of workshops in conjunction with CDC, including Resume writing, time management skills, and team building skills.

*We will be bringing in speakers this semester in the fields of Broadcasting and Journalism. When dates are finalized, there will be another email.

*There will be NCA-sponsored luncheons with faculty. This is an excellent way to develop a rappore with a professor and an excellent chance to ask in depth questions outside of the usual classroom or office. It looks like there will be a luncheon with Professor Harrison, Chair of the Communication Department sometime towards the end of October, and a luncheon with Professor Barberich sometime in November.

*If you have any questions about Lambda Pi Eta, please email Professor Cooren. If you are eligible you should be getting an envelope in the mail sometime soon
