Every hero has an origin story. So does a podcast, and this is ours.🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

Comm in 🔟, the official podcast of the UNO School of Communication, started with three people and a shared love of comics, storytelling, and media. In this very first episode, the hosts, the School of Communication's director and faculty, tell you where it all began: how they each found their way into communication, and how this show came to be.

If you want the whole story, start where we started. Ten-minute conversations with the people and ideas shaping communication at UNO, new episodes every other Tuesday.💫

Ciao from Italy!
This summer, 19 Mavericks took on Italy on a study abroad trip led by Drs. Whitney Gent and Cooney. Home base was Florence, with visits to Rome, Cinque Terre, Parma, and Modena.

Along the way they toured Lamborghini, the Barilla pasta factory, a castle in the hills of Tuscany, Palazzo Gucci, and the art restorers at Friends of Florence. (Ask Dr. Cooney about his museum habit.)
Keep your eyes open. Persuasion and Social Influence in Italy is coming next summer.

🎉 Day two of our Season 2 kickoff, and today we bring the laughs.

Yesterday we opened with a heavy one. Today we flip it. 🎤 Cameron Logsdon teaches public speaking at UNO, does stand-up comedy, and is about to hit the America's Got Talent stage on September 8. 📺

In this episode he makes the case that comedy and public speaking are the same craft: brainstorm, read the room, shape the message, put it on stage. We get into his celebrity impressions, the commercials, and the UNO Comedy Club he advises. 😂

Two episodes in two days to open Season 2. Grief yesterday, comedy today. That is the range of a communication degree. 🎓

Episode 2 is live. Watch now: https://youtu.be/wf2WeBkS_YY

Good luck on AGT, Cameron! 🍀

The wall tells the story.💻

Every award on it started as someone's late night, second draft, or long shot that paid off. Last year our students, faculty, and staff filled it up. National recognition. Regional honors. Work we're proud to put our name on.👏

Here's the thing about a full trophy wall. It just makes us want more.🏆

New year, same standard, bigger goals. Let's go add to the wall, Mavs.
