From social media to blogs, and newspapers to press releases, this next group of students excels in the exchange of ideas and information. In the Agricultural Communications CDE, participants attend a press conference; utilize information gathered in a team activity and complete individual practicums in design, electronic media and writing. Students are also tested on editing and other communications skills.
