As always, I left our conference
invigorated and ready for the
new semester. And it has been
an exciting start to the academ-
ic year. Presidential campaigns,
exploding tablets, ill-advised 9/11
themed ads have provided more
than enough conversation starters
for my mass communications
and public relations classes (plus,
I'm stocking up on great exam
questions for the law class next
semester).
I'm also excited to serve as head
of the division this year. I have
been a member of the division
since starting graduate school
and am honored to contribute to
its continued success. I am lucky
to be working with an amazing
group of people on the board:
Jason Martin is vice/head/pro-
gram chair; Kearston Wesner is
research chair; Roy Gutterman
is clerk/newsletter editor); Jona-
than Peters and Jared Schroeder
are returning as teaching chair
and PF&R chair respectively;
Amy Sanders is our new web
administrator; Mike Martinez is

once again doing a great job as
Southeast Colloquium chair; and
Brooks Fuller is continuing his
work as graduate student liaison.
It still feels as if I just left Min-
neapolis, but Chicago is really
just around the corner. All of the
board members are already hard
at work planning an amazing
program. Some great speakers
are getting confirmed, probably
as I write this, and we will all be
very excited to fill you in on the
details of the preconference as
soon as we can!
The 2017 conference in Chi-
cago is scheduled for August
8 - 12 at the Chicago Marriott
Downtown Magnificent Mile
Hotel. This conference is a little
different because it will begin
with preconference on Tuesday,
August 8, and wrap up with the
final day on Saturday, August 12.
In the business meeting this
year, we awarded the second
Stonecipher Award to Professor
Genevieve Lakier for her article,
The Invention of Low Value
Speech, published in the Har-
vard Law Review. Thanks to the
generosity of Kyu Ho Youm and
Doug Anderson, AEJMC will
bestow the Stonecipher Award

How do we make our communi-
cation law courses more real to the
students?
I've been thinking a lot about
this lately, not just as someone who
teaches communication law, but as
