Spotlight on Student

Photograph of Dan StrasserName: Dan Strasser

Undergraduate institution and major: College of Mount Saint Joseph: Communication Studies & History

Current job: Student/Bartender/Musician

Favorite activity/hobby: Playing music with my friends, cooking and eating new and amazing food, visiting family, training for my next marathon, finding time to relax, and an occasional libation.

Area of interest in communication: Interpersonal and family communication (relational dialectics/dynamics and performance).

Dream career: Communication professor, or a musician, or the guy who lives with the wolves…that would be cool. Ohh, how about all three. Or a beach bum that surfs occasionally. In the end something fulfilling that will make me happy.

Other pertinent information: I never thought that I would be the type of person to be placed on the Spotlight page. Who knew?!

Favorite part of the Master of Arts in Communication program at NKU: My favorite part of the program is the people that are involved. The faculty and the students are all wonderful. It seems that everyone genuinely wants to help and watch everyone succeed together. I know that if it wasn’t for those people within my grad school experience I would have never been able to accomplish what I have or even think about moving forward with my aspirations for a PhD. Thanks, everyone!
