OKALHOMA CITY – With posters and papers in tow, the UF/IFAS Center for Public Issues Education (PIE Center) traveled to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to present research findings at a national conference.
The National Agricultural Communications Symposium (NACS), held February 5-6, 2023, is an annual gathering of university instructors, students and agricultural communicators. NACS provides a platform to share research and learn about advancements in the field of agricultural communication.
The PIE Center was represented by a group of faculty, staff and graduate students who presented three posters and three papers at the conference.
During the poster session, conference attendees learned about the PIE Center’s research related to media coverage of immigration, perceptions of video communication and outreach during the COVID-19 pandemic.
