More than 70 industry professionals will visit Cal State Fullerton April 25-30, when the university’s College of Communications celebrates its annual professional development event: Communications Week.

Held each spring, the weeklong event provides an opportunity for communications students to meet with professionals in the field, attend lectures and programs, and participate in a range of activities that will help students develop and hone their skills.

This year’s speakers include David Ono, anchor for KABC-TV Channel 7 News; Terry Michael, executive director of Washington Center for Politics & Journalism; and Emmy Award-winner Steven J. Cannell, director and producer of “21 Jump Street.”

Communications Week will kick off with a chalk competition Monday, April 25. Students will be asked to draw what communications means in their own lives and how communications brings people together.

Geno Effler, manager of public relations for Mercedes Benz/West, will be the keynote speaker of the alumni luncheon, scheduled for Thursday, April 28, in the Fullerton Arboretum.

Musical entertainment will be provided by STAR 98.7 Monday, April 25, and by KROQ Tuesday, April 26, in the Becker Amphitheatre.

Other special events include the Poetry Slam Tuesday, April 26, and the National Writers Workshop Saturday, April 30. A photo exhibit will be displayed in the Titan Student Union’s Center Gallery April 27-30.
