ESU Junior Awarded Communicator of the Year

East Stroudsburg University was the host of the 82^nd annual Pennsylvania Communication Association (PCA) Conference on September 30 and October 1. ESU alumni Paul Lucas’05 currently serves as PCA vice president and presided over the meeting.

This year’s conference, themed “Revitalization,” focused on the return to in-person interactions and included panel presentations and roundtable discussions by professors, graduate students, and undergraduate students.

Awards were also given to honor significant contributors to the discipline in the areas of teaching, scholarship, and service. Francesca Palmeri, a junior majoring in communication from Morganville, N.J., was awarded the Voices of Tomorrow College Communicator of the Year award. The award recognizes excellent communicators at the college level. This award is presented to a Pennsylvania college student who excels in curricular and extracurricular communication work, who uses communication skills in a service capacity, and who demonstrates promise of future leadership through communication.

Palmeri serves as president and social media chair of the ESU chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America; assistant firm director of Warrior Relations, ESU’s student-run public relations agency; the WarriorLink administrator for WESS; secretary and head of standards for Lambda Iota; and is a student worker at the Mattioli Recreation Center.
