Preparing Communication Professionals for the Future: Circle of Fellows No. 122

The forward-looking conversation brings together five seasoned leaders, two professors shaping tomorrow’s communicators, and three senior practitioners navigating today’s evolving pressures. Together, they bridge campus and workplace, theory and practice, offering a clear picture of what true readiness looks like in a world defined by constant change. 

Expect a candid, fast-moving exchange on the skills and mindsets that matter most today, and the ones rising quickly on the horizon. From AI literacy and data confidence to ethical decision-making, change agility, and human-centered storytelling, the panel delivers practical frameworks you can put to work right away. You’ll gain insight into how universities are reimagining curriculum, how employers can foster continuous learning, and how individual professionals can future-proof their careers without losing the craft that elevates their work.

You’ll walk away with actionable guidance and real examples from both classrooms and boardrooms. Whether you lead a team, teach, hire, or are shaping your own career path, this conversation will help you set smart priorities for the year ahead.
