The School of Communication at Chapman University had a strong presence at the Eastern Communication Association (ECA) Convention in Buffalo, NY, from March 26-30, 2025. Our students and faculty showcased their outstanding research and contributions to the field of communication, earning well-deserved recognition and accolades.<\/p>\n

One of the most prestigious honors at the convention was awarded to Dr. Sara LaBelle, who received the ECA 2025 Distinguished Research Fellows Award. This esteemed recognition highlights her exceptional contributions to communication research and her continuous engagement within the ECA community. Congratulations, Dr. LaBelle, on this incredible achievement!<\/p>\n

Additionally, Dr. Cailin Kuchenbecker and Dr. Hannah Ball were honored with a Top Paper award from the Applied Communication Interest Group for their co-authored research: \u201cYour Share Could Make a Difference: Facilitating Social Media Engagement of Missing Person Posts Through Timeliness, Empathy, and Respect.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Recognizing Student Success<\/h3>\n

Amongst our faculty, several of our graduate students traveled to ECA to present their work. Conferences are more than just opportunities to learn\u2014they’re also a chance to connect, share experiences, and gain new insights. PhD student, Denise Alonso-Pecora shared, \u201cIt\u2019s always nice to go to these conferences to hear about different experiences at different institutions.\u201d These gatherings allow participants to see how various educational environments address similar challenges and to learn from each other’s successes and setbacks.<\/p>\n

Ph.D. student Crystal Hoang Nguyen was awarded a Top Paper award from the Instructional Communication Interest Group for her co-authored paper, \u201cColorblindness in the Classroom is a Microaggression: A Dual Autoethnographic Exploration of Identity and Pedagogy.\u201d<\/em> Crystal shared, “I research culturally diverse families, such as immigrant families, but the paper was truly inspired by the dedication and passion for teaching that my co-author and I share.”<\/p>\n

Another group of graduate students from the School of Communication who made impactful contributions with their co-authored paper, presented as part of the Health Communication Interest Group. Denise Alonso-Pecora, Tate Renville, Kayla Loeb, Baylee Crummett, Hannah Ball, and Merrill Buczek collaborated on their research titled: \u201cComparative Analysis of Formal and Informal Caregivers\u2019 Mental Well-Being: Exploring TRRL in HINTS 6.<\/em>\u201d Their study revealed that informal caregivers\u2014those offering unpaid care to loved ones\u2014experience significantly higher levels of loneliness and depression than non-caregivers. Interestingly, professional caregivers reported even greater depressive symptoms. The research also found that white informal caregivers reported a lower sense of purpose than their peers from other racial\/ethnic backgrounds.<\/p>\n

Dr. LaBelle, Kwaku Kyereh, Crystal Nguyen and Denise Alonso-Pecora<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ph.D. students Kwaku Kyereh, Crystal Nguyen, and Denise Alonso-Pecora took the stage in a thought-provoking panel discussion titled: \u201cContemporary Problems in Instructional Communication Research: The Role of Identity-Focused Research as a Creative Solution<\/em>.\u201d Together, they examined the role of identity in shaping educational experiences\u2014from nontraditional and international students to individuals with disabilities. Their work addressed how these identities impact communication clarity, feedback, and outcomes in the classroom. Audience members joined in a lively discussion, contributing ideas for building a more inclusive, identity-centered approach to instructional communication. Kwaku additionally was able to speak about his own experiences navigating being an international graduate student instructor and international student in the United States. Dr. LaBelle, who served as the Chair for the panel, shared her thoughts on the students\u2019 work: \u201cThis panel was presented as part of the Instructional Communication Interest Group. Each of these students did a wonderful job making Chapman proud with their presentations!\u201d<\/p>\n

Kwaku also taught a short course titled <\/span>\u201cHistorical Narratives<\/i>\u00a0and Theoretical Foundations: A Storyteller’s Approach to Critical Health Communication.\u201d<\/i> He explained, “For the short course, our discussion centered on creative and history-based approaches to critical health communication. We explored the question, \u201cHow do we use history and creative approaches in our health communication scholarship and campaigns? It was an insightful discussion between communication scholars and students who shared enlightening experiences.”<\/p>\n

A Proud Moment for the School of Communication<\/h3>\n

The ECA 2025 Conference was a meaningful and energizing opportunity for our faculty and students to showcase their research, engage in impactful conversations, and proudly represent Chapman University on a national stage. From faculty honors to student-led presentations, the School of Communication made its presence known. Reflecting on her first ECA experience, Crystal shared, \u201cI am very grateful for so many people in SoC for making my first ECA memorable, but specifically, Dr. Sara LaBelle\u2019s support, feedback, and help networking at ECA made this conference very special and productive for me, Denise, and Kwaku.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Ball also offered her perspective, highlighting the unique value of the conference: \u201cThe Eastern Communication Association\u2019s (ECA) annual conference has a more intimate, collaborative atmosphere compared to some of the larger conferences in our discipline, which can often feel overwhelming\u2014especially for graduate students eager to engage. ECA offers unique opportunities for graduate students to contribute visibly to the field, whether through research presentations, top paper awards, or networking with leading scholars. This year, the School of Communication was even represented by a first-year PhD student facilitating a short course\u2014an honor typically reserved for more senior academics. For me, ECA has been an invaluable space to build meaningful connections and actively contribute to the discipline through leadership roles such as Executive Council member and Editor of Communication Quarterly<\/em>, ECA\u2019s flagship journal.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019re incredibly proud of the talent, commitment, and excellence our community brought to ECA 2025.<\/p>\n
