Expected Completion: June, 1998

Concentration: Advertising
Minor: Public Policy

My coursework is complete and comps passed. I have carefully designed my major to augment my practical experience in advertising. Coursework focused in the areas of history, theory and law. I have studied with Dr. Tom Bowers, Associate Dean of the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communications, noted First Amendment scholar Dr. Ruth Walden and advertising research and media management consultant Dr. Mary Alice Shaver. My minor has focused on public policy in area of advertising regulation. I have been lucky enough to study under two of the best-known experts in public policy: Mr. Deil Wright of UNC-Chapel Hill and Dr. Mark Nadel of the U.S. General Accounting Office and Johns Hopkins University. In addition, I have taken two courses from Mr. John Sweeney, a noted master teacher. Both courses provided me the opportunity to watch Mr. Sweeney's in-class methods, techniques that have earned him several teaching awards and academic recognition.
