Call for Submissions

2013 Central States Communication Association Conference 

Kansas City Marriott Downtown
Kansas City, Missouri
Communicating the Possible
April 2 – April 7, 2013
The Public Relations Division welcomes submissions of papers and panel proposals for the 2013 CSCA Conference. Any topic related to public relations is welcome; however, we especially encourage submissions that focus on the theme of the convention. Of particular interest from the conference call related to the PR Division is “how does communication operate in the organizations that are both transformative and productive?”
Additionally, we strongly encourage undergraduate and graduate student papers. We welcome papers and panels on a wide range of topics, including those related to the convention city of Kansas City. We also encourage programs that incorporate public relations practitioners through roundtable discussion panels or other formats. A variety of formats are also welcome, including competitive paper panels.
Guidelines for Submission:
