The University of Tulsa Class of 1964 Memory Book The University of Tulsa Alma Mater Hail to thee Alma Mater, Gold and blue, Praise from thy sons and daughters, Old and new. Pride in our hearts, Our voices let us raise, Filled with devotion We will sing thy praise. Alma Mater, now we honor, Loyal, always true, We will lift our voice in chorus. Hail to Tulsa U! 1 9 6 4 Greetings From the President Dear Friends, This Homecoming we salute the members of the Class of 1964, who graduated in one of the iconic years of recent American history. From Beatlemania to the Ford Mustang to the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, your year brought sweeping changes to American culture and society. Of course, there were plenty of worries and woes, too – including tensions with the Soviets, escalating war in Vietnam, and ugly violence in the South. Those days delivered both turmoil and triumph in ample measure. As it was then, it remains our mission here at The University of Tulsa to prepare young men and women to meet the challenges and opportunities of their time. That process includes a broad grounding in the humanities and liberal arts, thorough instruction in a student’s chosen major, an emphasis on service to others, and the daily inspiration of being part of a distinguished university family. As an alumnus or alumna, you remain an important member of that family. Your example illustrates how a TU education helps to shape a lifetime of success, both in one’s career and in one’s community. Your abiding support shows that school spirit does not end with graduation. And the gifts that so many of you contribute keep TU well equipped for the future. On behalf of today’s TU students, faculty and staff, I thank you for all that you do to uphold your alma mater and to ensure that the best traditions of The University of Tulsa remain part of our experience each and every day. All best, Steadman Upham President 1 9 6 4 In 1964 at TU: President of the University: Around Campus: Dr. Ben Graf Henneke • Students rallied to the Gary Place parking lot to watch the effigy burning of the Cincinnati Chancellor: Bearcats before the Homecoming game Clarence I.

    By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

Through a series of in-depth interviews it explores the phenomenon, investigating both how and why TV consumers are using social media to talk about TV content while watching it. The findings of this thesis include numerous insights about the viewing behavior associated with synchronous Social TV, covering several different aspects: Driving forces, the context in which Social TV viewing takes place, the features of the content being consumed, with whom and how Social TV viewers are interacting with each other, identified barriers and needs, as well as perceived effects on the TV viewing experience. It becomes evident that TV viewers consider the act of watching TV as a highly social activity, seeking to share it with other like-minded individuals, using social media to recreate the experience of watching together as a co-located group.

    Media Guide for Federal Leaders in Oklahoma

    Media Guide for Federal Agencies Discussing the traditional forms of Media Interaction AND addressing the topic of Social Media! Oklahoma Federal Executive Board 215 Dean A. McGee, Suite 320 Oklahoma City, OK 73102 (405) 231-4167 www.oklahoma.feb.gov Distributed July 2011 INTRODUCTION Federal agencies have a responsibility to provide accurate and timely information to the general public and the media. In many cases, however, agencies do not have a person designated and trained as a Public Affairs Officer (PAO). In such instances, the CEO or a front-line employee must act as the agency's representative to the public. Many times, the intended message may be lost during the interview; often lack of planning or an inability to relay the message in succinct, easy to understand terms is the cause. Dealing with the media can be a daunting, nerve-wracking experience, whether it is in a face-to-face interview, phone interview or on camera. It is important to be at your best when communicating your message. This guide has been developed to assist those individuals called upon to speak on behalf of their agency to the press, both managerial and non-managerial employees. Whether you are responding to inquiries, arranging or participating in an interview, or simply providing information for print or broadcast, it is hoped that this media guide will provide you with useful information and some important tips to assist you. The purpose of this Media Guide is informational in nature for public employees. As in the past, the guidance is based on the principle that the business of Government is vital to serving the public everywhere.
