"Along Came a Better Offer: Two Cases of Job Hunting Ethics," authored by Scott R. Hamula, associate professor and chair of the Department of Strategic Communication, was featured in the book, Media Ethics at Work, True Stories from Young Professionals, by editors Lee Anne Peck and Guy S. Reel, and published by SAGE CQ Press.

Hamula's case deals with two recently graduated students, Emily Parnell and Josh Murray, one who agreed to accept a position at a marketing services firm and the other who had just begun working for a media company. How each one chose to be quickly released so that she/he could accept another offer is where the case explores the ethical dilemmas and possibilities. Also included within the case are critical thinking questions, role-playing exercises, and an online resources section.

In the words of Frederick Douglass: " We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future."

Ithaca College’s Roy H. Park School of Communications will be supporting The History Center, in partnership with the St. James A.M.E. Zion Church, to bring to life Frederick Douglass’ impassioned 1852 speech. A dramatic reading of Douglass’ speech will take place on Saturday, October 20, 2012 at 1 p.m. at the St. James A.M.E. Zion Church, 116 Cleveland Ave Ithaca, New York.

While stumping on behalf of abolitionist Gerrit Smith in his bid for Congress, Douglass visited a number of areas in Central and Upstate New York, delivering impassioned speeches excoriating the inability of politicians to address the evils of slavery and describing a post-slavery America based on the core ideals of opportunity, equality, and democracy.
