He is a leading figure in our discipline, having served as president of the Southern States Communication Association, and as a member of the National Communication Association's nominating committee and legislative council, and also serving as an associate editor of almost all of NCA's scholarly publications. Robert is a respected authority for his research in persuasion, listening and assessment. Jack Baseheart will retire from the University on December 31, 2000. Jack has been with the Department for nearly 30 years and has been integral in establishing and maintaining the Department's highly successful Internship Program. Each year, over 50 Communication juniors and seniors participate in an internship, earning valuable work experience in addition to making important career connections.
Many internships turn into jobs upon the student's graduation.
We are extremely grateful to Jack for his dedication to the Department and the Internship program over the years.
