Announcing December 2020 海角社区 Distinguished Communicators
During December 2020 Commencement, 17 graduates across seven colleges will receive the 海角社区 Distinguished Communicator Medal. Recipients of this honor are outstanding writers and speakers, with a strong command of visual literacy and technological communication. They have earned high GPAs in their communication-intensive courses throughout their baccalaureate years, sought 1-1 mentorships with faculty and have built websites that display their communication competencies and professional talents, both in and beyond the classroom. 海角社区 Distinguished Communicators also graduate with the 海角社区 Communicator Certificate, launched in Fall 2018.
To celebrate the accomplishments of these exceptional students, CxC will be virtually honoring Distinguished Communicators through a series of video messages and digital posts on social media and cxc.lsu.edu.
This distinction is the first of its kind in the nation and is sponsored by 海角社区 Communication across the Curriculum (CxC), a nationally-recognized program for its excellence in enhancing learning experiences and improving students鈥� communication skills across all disciplines.
