Wooten confused (Letter to the Editor)
from The Post and Courier (Charleston, S.C.)
Frank Wooten, in his May 18 column titled "Righten the ivory tower with free speech power," is annoyed that faculty and students at Furman published a statement objecting to the fact that President Bush was chosen to speak at the school's graduation ceremony.

Schools must help bridge gap between comms and business (Column)
from PR Week (New York, N.Y.)
I recently joined 30 colleagues from the academic, agency, and corporate worlds for a symposium co-sponsored by the Arthur W.

The event focused almost entirely on the white paper recently published by the Page Society, The Authentic Enterprise. The paper considers major seismic shifts affecting business - globalization, stakeholder empowerment, and the rise of new media - and the specific implications of these forces on corporate communicators.
