Moody College of Communication conducted a national search to find an individual to guide and lead its top ranked programs in advertising and public relations. After extensive interviews, consultations, discussions and reviews, Dr. Natalie Tindall was selected, and she began as school director and professor on Aug. 15.

She previously served as the chair of the Department of Communication and Media at Lamar University. A tenured professor and administrator, Tindall was previously graduate director for multiple doctoral and master’s areas at Georgia State University.

S. Craig Watkins, professor in the School of Journalism and Media, as well as a researcher and designer in diverse media technologies, joined other University of Texas at Austin faculty for a timely conversation on Wednesday, Sept. 22. "The Future of Work: It's a Brave New World" explored how organizations can forge new paths.

The brain is the maestro behind our every movement and thought, and the guide that tells us what we feel and what we know.

Most recently, the brain is telling us we still have a lot to learn.

In fact, a multi-year study produced by neuroscientist Dr. Liberty Hamilton and colleagues at UCSF and McGill University indicates that how the brain actually turns sounds into words may not happen in the way that scientists had always assumed.

Moody College of Communication emphasizes world-changing research and life-changing teaching by continually reinforcing its team of innovative scholars and classroom leaders.
