My name is Mary Adu, a graduate student in the Department of Communication Studies, NMSU. I am an international student from Ghana and a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) with a strong interest in organizational communication. My research focuses on the emotional dynamics between leaders and employees, particularly how emotions are expressed, managed, and interpreted within organizational contexts. I am especially interested in how leaders communicate during complex situations and how these interactions shape employee experiences and organizational outcomes. I aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of communication processes that foster more supportive and effective workplace environments.

My name is Amos Aidoo. A graduate student with the Department of Communication Studies and in my third semester in the MA Communication Studies program. I hail from Ghana in West Africa. After graduating, I hope to land a job with an NGO or Agency that works with the youth or people who need a little help to bounce back in life. The Communication Studies program gives you the ability to work on various aspects of communication before you finally find your place. With a diverse faculty who are ready and willing to help you find your feet in academia and industry, one cannot ask for anything more.

Hello there! My name is Paige Corcoran (they/them), and I am from Attleboro, Massachusetts. I am currently a master’s student studying communication studies. My favorite areas of Communication to study are ethnography, interpersonal communication, and mass media communication. I am excited by human patterns within communication and how they develop and change over time. After graduating with my master's from NMSU, I plan on pursuing a PhD with quantitative, ethnographic and interpersonal focuses. Ultimately, I hopes to conduct research that supports communities, minoritized groups and creates opportunities for those interested in the humanities.

I am Gifty Obuo Gyan and my pronouns are She/Her. I am majoring in Communication Studies. I am a Ghanaian and I come from Aburi which is in the Eastern Region of the country. My hometown is a very beautiful place. It is home to the historic Aburi Botanical Gardens and a host of other tourism sites. I believe communication is integral to human life. For me, it is the oxygen that fuels human interaction and existence. A pursuit for communication is not about becoming a good public speaker but venturing into a field that harmonizes all spheres of life and gives meaning to it.
