AU Communication alumna Rakiyah Lenon, now at WJBF News Channel 6, has been on Your Hometown Kitchen show of late to demonstrate some of her cooking skills.

Congratulations to AU Communication alumnus Justin Gray for being named assistant athletic director at Georgia Southern-Swainsboro campus. Justin was editor in chief and host of The Sports Squad and Dip Metress Podcast during his time at AU. He also was a stringer for The Augusta Press covering high school sports. He won several journalism award while at AU.

Congratulations to Brooklyn Phillips, who just graduated three weeks back. Good luck!

Today and every day, we remember the brave women and men who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Congratulations to Communication majors Ana Winters and Madison Broadwater for winning a Telly Bronze Award for their PSA titled "Lungs of Rubber." Ana and Madison created their video in COMM 3030 under Adjunct Professor Arthur Takahashi. Kalpana Ramgopal served as the writer consultant for the PSA project and provided feedback on the script even after the first round of revisions. A big thank-you to Maryclaire Regan, who spearheads these 3030 PSA projects each semester for the Georgia Cancer Center. Here is a link to Ana and Madison's PSA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE1Qo1H7gm4

One of many highlights for the Department of Communication during AY 2025-2026 was Senior Lecturer Rachel Balducci discussing the dissertation that she is doing at the University of Georgia. Rachel is getting her Ph.D. in religious studies.

In recent years, the Department of Communication at Augusta University has done outreach to area schools. This includes the STEM program at Martinez Elementary School. Here, Lydia Williams, who served as photography editor of the Bell Ringer this past academic year, teaches MES students about the technology in play with a camera. Thanks to Valery Dinkins at MES for including us in this outstanding program.

Happy Summer Break Jags! We hope that everyone has a fun summer, and we can't wait to see y'all next semester!

A special thanks to our recently graduated COMM student, Brooke Phillips! Brooke was one of the students who put on Falling Down the Rabbit Hole to CommuniCon 2026. She had a table with baked good from her small business on Day 1, and generously donated the homemade cupcakes used for decorating on Day 2.

We are so proud of her accomplishments! If you are able, please feel free to support her small business!
