“Contemporary Problems, Creative Solutions”
Hyatt Regency, Buffalo, NY
March 26-March 30, 2025
The 2025 convention theme is Contemporary Problems, Creative Solutions. In our ever-changing world, contemporary problems and issues need to be addressed with creative solutions. Communication Studies scholars and practitioners are well-positioned to offer theoretical and practical insights to address contemporary problems. First Vice President’s Special Programming will focus on the communication surrounding contemporary problems and potential solutions in various areas including social justice, Artificial Intelligence, higher education enrollment, undergraduate and graduate program development, curriculum changes, current political climate, health disparities, and workplace communication issues, among other areas. I encourage submissions that interrogate the following:
- How can Communication Studies scholarship, teaching, and practice provide creative solutions to contemporary societal, environmental, geopolitical, technological, and economic problems?
- How can we best prepare undergraduate and graduate students to address these contemporary problems with creative solutions?
- How can we extend Communication Studies scholarship, teaching, and practice to settings and situations outside our traditional contexts?

“Anchors and Anchoring Communication”
SSCA 95th Annual Convention
Hilton Norfolk The Main, Norfolk, Virginia
April 2-6, 2025
Southern States Communication Association’s 95th conference brings us to Norfolk, Virginia, the location we replaced with the virtual conference in 2021 during the pandemic. This will be our 3rd visit to Norfolk.
In recognition of the rich naval history of Norfolk, the 2025 conference theme is about anchors and anchoring. An anchor is a device for holding fast, a reliable member of a team, or a business that attracts other businesses. To anchor is to secure, attach, moor, support, or imbed. Just as an anchor holds a ship in place against the wind and rough seas of foul weather, communication anchors us, as individuals, as a society, and as a discipline.
