UCSD Communication Department to Celebrate 30th Anniversary, June 6-8

By: UCSD Communication Department
 
LA JOLLA, Calif. - June 5, 2013 - PRLog -- La Jolla, CA (June 5, 2013) – It has been a tumultuous 30 years in the field of Communication, and new forms of human communication have been at the center of enormous social and cultural change. UC San Diego’s Department of Communication has been at the forefront of these changes since its formation in 1982. This thirty-year legacy of academic excellence calls for a celebration! Please join us June 6-8, 2013 during UC San Diego’s Alumni Weekend (http://alumni.ucsd.edu/s/1170/index.aspx?sid=1170&gid=1&pgid=2675) at the university’s main campus to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Department of Communication.

A team of dedicated students, faculty and staff have been organizing an exciting variety of social and intellectual events to showcase the Department’s achievements over the past thirty years. Our mission is to demonstrate how the knowledge produced at UC San Diego can help us all to navigate the complexities of the modern world.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reconnect with friends, meet the new generation of Communication faculty and students, and catch up on the latest in news in this vital field.

Faculty and alumni of the department from around the country are converging to discuss important contemporary topics including the rise of surveillance technologies and their impact on society, youth interaction in the age of digital media, changing ideas of law and property in the new media environment, and many more. The 30th Anniversary Celebration also includes social activities such as a BBQ lunch and beer garden, as well as a Speed Networking Mixer. Support the future of the department by participating with Team Comm-UNITY in the Triton 5K (http://5k.ucsd.edu/) run/walk on Saturday, June 8th.

Make this historic celebration an opportunity to reconnect with your UCSD roots and to enrich our tradition of alumni-student-faculty engagement. RSVP today at communication.ucsd.edu/30th.
