Stephen Hartnett, Patrick Dodge, and Lisa Keranen from the Communication Department have been named recipients of this year's Xiao Award for Outstanding Rhetorical Research from the Association for Chinese Communication Studies (ACCS). This award honors the strongest published article in the area of China-related rhetorical studies from the past two years in recognition of their Journal of International and Intercultural Communication essay, “Postcolonial remembering in Taiwan: 228 and transitional justice as ‘the end of fear.’”The award will be conferred in November in Baltimore, MD.
Canvas Outage
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
