The tragic events of May 1‐4, 1970, had a profound impact on Kent State University, the nation, and the world. Kent State’s history has shaped what it is today, including the creation of such programs as the Center for Applied Conflict Management and the annual democracy symposium. During this session, participants will be guided through a walking tour of the site, now on the National Register of HistoRecord­Courier ric Places. Margaret Garmon was a student and university employee during the events of May 1‐4, 1970. As a former reporter for the newspaper, and an administrator, media relations representative, and current educator at Kent State, she has been involved with the events of 1970 and subsequent news and memorial events. 5 | Page www.ohiocomm.org 2012 Ohio Communication Association Conference 3:45 ­ 4:45 p.m. PANEL/WORKSHOP SESSIONS Training the Trainer: Communication across the Curriculum Location:101 FRH 214 Lorain County Community College Workshop Facilitators:Lorain County Community College Dee Gross, Nancy Kelley, It is clear that skills like public speaking, group collaboration, leadership, conflict negotiation, and listening are necessary in every field for students for to become productive and successful members of the workforce. Recognizing this, faculty outside our discipline often include communication outcomes in their courses. Unfortunately because they are untrained in communication, these faculty are often ill equipped to design and assess activities or projects that truly enhance communication skills. This workshop will provide strategies for communication faculty to train faculty across the curriculum in these areas. Materials will be provided to assist faculty in diverse disciplines to incorporate communication activities or assignments that will encourage active learning, improve student mastery of subject matter and enhance communication skills. Ideas for developing CXC workshop(s), sample materials and rubrics for assessing student success will be provided to participants. Through the development of Communication Across the Curriculum programs, we enhance the skills taught to students in the communication courses and underline the importance of communication competence to all disciplines. This “venture in communication” offers the opportunity to extend the reach of communication scholarship to all areas of the academy. Participants will receive a packet that includes sample handouts, assessment tools, and CXC resources. Why Facebook? Location:102 FRH 312 Walsh University Workshop Facilitators:Walsh University Lee Horrisberger, Heidi Beke‐Harrigan, WHY FACEBOOK? A Walsh University Public Relations capstone class investigated this question, The class was able to use survey tools (Zoomerang), on‐line content analysis and focus groups to collect data about the way universities library Facebooks were used. Alumni, faculty, staff, the student body and community were all included in this research to find evidence on how people use library Facebooks to begin their research. After collecting and processing the data, the class helped educate the University's library staff in understanding student research patterns and methods on how to support them by utilizing social media. The goal for the session is to highlight the use of technology in teaching to study social media in a public relations corporate capstone class, while also serving as a collaborative example of librarians becoming embedded in courses in various ways to facilitate information literacy learning. 6 | Page www.ohiocomm.org 2012 Ohio Communication Association Conference Crisis in the Classroom: Public Relations and Bullying in Secondary and Post­Secondary Settings Location:103 FRH 314 Kent State University Chair/Respondent: Norma Jones, Ohio Northern UniversityPapers/Participants: Crisis Communication in Ohio Schools.

Mermer, The goal of this session is to expose audience members to the options of incorporating either popular culture novels or self‐improvement books into their lectures on interpersonal communication concepts and theories. Panel members will share several assignments which integrate these types of outside sources, thus enabling students to apply these concepts to their own interpersonal lives. This panel discussion is imperative to both faculty and also students for several reasons. Firstly, it allows faculty to enliven their courses with fresh, new assignments.
