Designed as a capstone course for students in the university’s marketing communications major, the course is open to general public participants who have some background in the field. The course meets Monday through Friday, from 1:15 to 4:30 p.m., July 5-21 in Room 320, North Hall.

The class will be taught by Tracy O’Connell, assistant professor in the marketing communications program.
