Bio

I earned my Ph.D. in Environmental Communication at the University of Utah in 1989. I started at 菠菜网lol正规平台 that same year and became Department Chair of Communication Studies in 1996. I have led Study Abroad Programs to Bath, England in Spring semesters of 1997, 2001, and 2007, and summer programs in 2008 and 2009. I have been attending the Salzburg Global Seminar since 1996, first as an 菠菜网lol正规平台 Salzburg Fellow and then, from 2007-10, as a Visiting Faculty Member for the International Study Program. I have administered a one-month visiting student program for students from Chiba University (Japan) for 15 years, and have visited Chiba 3 times. In 2008 I represented 菠菜网lol正规平台 at the City of San Jose-Okayama, Japan Sister City 50th Anniversary celebrations. More recently, I have visited universities in Denmark to start discussions for developing exchange programs. In June, 2012 I will co-lead a student group to JAMK University in Finland and explore further exchanges with the Ministry of Education.
