In April 2025, Jeffrey T. Child (Communication Studies) will become president of the largest regional communication association in the nation, the Central States Communication Association (CSCA). Child is the primary conference planner for CSCA’s 94th annual convention being held April 1-6 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He organized this year’s convention around the theme of “Widening the Scope.” The conference this year encourages communication scholars, teachers, and professionals to expand their scope of their own natural inquiry and understanding of the communication discipline by collaborating, networking, and engaging the discipline in ways that are less common to their own sense-making and engagement practices.
