Communication for Social and Political Change

11:10 PM – Senate Room (CUB 204)

Session Details

Learn how a Cougar became U.S. Ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, met Rihanna, helped the region recover from the worst hurricane on record, and secured $1 billion in financing for the region – all while using the communications skills he learned and polished at the Murrow College. Ambassador Roger Nyhus will share stories illustrating that diplomacy is largely a communications career. Strong communicators are needed now more than ever in government at all levels – international, federal, state and local.
