Networking Reception

Networking opportunities abound for Media Scholars and experienced professionals alike. From Seattle to New York, Dallas to Miami, nearly 400 industry and academic leaders turn out to support and celebrate the talented Media Scholars.

The fourth annual Networking Reception takes place on Thursday, June 13, 2013.
