Congratulations to the CMCI Department of Communication for receiving 12 awards from the National Communication Association. 

NCA is a professional organization dedicated to advancing communication and serving the scholars, teachers and practitioners in the field. During the NCA 108th annual convention held in New Orleans in November, CMCI faculty, graduate students and alumni served as panelists, presented academic research and more. 

“These awards provide evidence that CU graduate students and faculty lead the communication field,” said Tim Kuhn, department chair. “Looking across the dozen awards, it’s clear that we’re attracting the very top PhD students to our program—and those students are able to work with some of the most innovative and devoted mentors the field has to offer.”

Doctoral students Sean Kenney and Nancy Maingi Ngwu win awards for top student paper and top published article, respectively, 2022 NCA convention.
