Hey everyone, we’ve officially moved into the fall semester now that Labor Day weekend is over. Doesn’t it feel “real” now? It does to me. When we move from “getting to know you” in my COM 205 class to actually discussing communication theories and research, I know it’s for real now.
This post is a veritable buffet of helpful tips, calendar items, and things you need to know. I hope you find this helpful as you plan your September!
