Lambda Pi Eta Eastern Communication Association 101st Annual Convention
April 22-25, 2010
Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor, Baltimore, Maryland

The Lambda Pi Eta Interest Group of the Eastern Communication Association invites submissions of papers for the 101st annual ECA Convention in Baltimore, Maryland. The convention theme, "Charting a Course: Meeting New Horizons" directs us to set our focus on the future, to grasp what lies beyond our reach. This forward-looking approach encourages us to chart a course as we look at the future of the field of communication studies and its impact in the U.S. and around the world. Please visit http://www.ecasite.org/ for more information about the conference.

All submissions must be authored exclusively by undergraduate students. Membership in an active chapter of Lambda Pi Eta is not necessary for participation in this paper competition. Submissions may include papers written for course assignments.

Papers must be submitted as an MSWord or Rich Text Format email attachment by October 15, 2009 to the 2010 planner, Dr. Andrew Jared Critchfield at ajc@gwu.edu. Call (202) 994-1874 for more information.
