In January, Dr. Jordan Atkinson, Assistant Professor of Communication, had an article published with his co-author, Dr. Nicholas Tatum (Abilene Christian University), in the Basic Communication Course Annual. The article was entitled, “Best Practices for Recruiting Students from the Basic Course.” In this article, five best practices for recruiting students from the basic course were discussed. These best practices represent programmatic initiatives as well as small activities to enhance recruiting efforts. The Basic Communication Course Annual publishes the best scholarship available on topics related to the basic communication course and is distributed nationally to scholars and educators interested in the basic communication course.
