School of Communications

Michelle Ferrier, an associate professor in the School of Communications, and Gary Palin, executive director of the Doherty Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership and senior lecturer of entrepreneurship in the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business, conducted a workshop on journalism entrepreneurship and experiments in diversity at the International Council for Small Business in Stockholm, Sweden on June 16. The workshop, “Emerging Journalism Innovations and the Role of the Academy,” examines media entrepreneurship and curricular and process-driven solutions.

When a member of the pope's choir begins shouting, "The priest is gone, we need the priest," in broken English peppered with a thick Italian accent in the middle of Rockefeller Plaza, and it sort of sounds like, "The police is gone, we need the police," it can create quite a commotion. And it can cause some anxious moments for Elon University rising junior Lexi Circle, a strategic communications major.

Associate Professor of Communications Amanda Sturgill completed the Newsplex Summer Seminar training Teaching and Research in Convergent Media in early June.
