From July 14th to July 16th of this year, Madison Krall took part in the National Communication Association’s Doctoral Honors Seminar, which accepts just a few of the top Ph.D. students in the field to engage with great established scholars and workshop their dissertation projects. This year, the seminar was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Madison tells me that the group was nonetheless able to have an awesome learning experience from afar.

I’m proud to say that I took part back in *ahem* 2007 as a participant when the DHS was hosted by Purdue University (Dr. Marouf Hasain, Jr. was one of my faculty mentors who, several years later, became my colleague at the University of Utah), and then I had the pleasure of being a faculty leader in 2015 when the DHS was hosted by the University of Missouri. Both of those experiences were fantastic, not least of which because of the outstanding scholars that I got to know in each case (my co-leaders at the University of Missouri were the amazing Sharon Jarvis from the University of Texas at Austin and the inimitable Daniel Brouwer from Arizona State University, who I am so sad to say is no longer with us).
