Congratulations to Department of Communication Associate Professor, Darrell Roe, whose work “Slow Down and Watch: Mixed Messaging About Memory in Prevagen TV Ads,” has been accepted for presentation in April at the 66th Annual WSSA (World Social Science Association) Conference in San Antonio, TX.
Abstract: Schema theory posits that visual references provide some of the building blocks for one’s construction of reality and, therefore, one’s understanding of how things work. For this study thirty-one different Prevagen TV ads were analyzed for their use of slow-motion visual effects showing “actual customers” doing various activities. Applying schema theory to a critical analysis of the effect across the ad campaign revealed that the effect was used multiple times within each ad and for a considerable percentage of total ad length. This study concluded that the slow-motion effect has been misapplied in these ads and is likely to have the opposite effect on potential consumers than intended. Viewers are likely to incorrectly perceive that taking the product will slow down cognitive and physiological processes.
Keep up the good work, Dr. Roe!!

Don't Miss Media-Con 2023!!
Communication Building
(TOMORROW) Tuesday, November 14, 2023 | All Day Event
Zoom Link https://facebook.com/events/s/media-con-2023/347394227810684/
For more information contact [email protected]

Media-Con 2023 is an academic and professional conference organized by Dr. Darrell Roe of ENMU’s Communication Department as a means of educating attendees on the functions and inner workings of the media industry, as well as potentially introducing them to contacts and resources before they enter the field. With media being such a broad field of study, there is bound to be something relevant and helpful to one’s career aspirations.
Speakers will conduct their own presentations to explain the scope of their positions and the paths they took to success, and there will also be panels of speakers who will discuss relevant subjects with the audience and with each other.
Dr. Roe recommends that attendees who are interested in media careers bring copies of their resumés to share with potential employers, both to establish career contacts and to potentially set up internships and other job opportunities.

Don't Miss Tonight's Guest Saxophone Recital
featuring Drs. Jeffrey Siegfried and Sean Friar
-Monday (Today!), October 30 | 7 p.m.
-Buchanan Hall (Music Building)
-Free and open to the public.

Assistant Professor of Saxophone at West Virginia University, Dr. Jeffrey Siegfried, and guest pianist and composer, Dr. Sean Friar, Chair of Composition at the University of Denver will perform several new works for saxophone and piano in recital.

Saxophonist Jeff Siegfried combines a “rich, vibrant tone” (South Florida Classical Review) with “beautiful and delicate playing” (Michael Tilson Thomas) to deliver “showstopper performances” (Peninsula Reviews). Hailed for his “quicksilver” interpretations (I Care if You Listen), Siegfried has become an important voice in his generation of concert saxophonists. Siegfried has been honored at numerous international competitions. He has received first prize at the Luminarts Fellowship Competition and the Frances Walton Competition and was runner up in the Carmel Music Society Competition, the North American Saxophone Alliance Quartet Competition, and the Music Teachers National Association Chamber Music Competition. He is the recipient of the 2016 Hans Schaeuble Award.

Composer and pianist Sean Friar grew up in Los Angeles, where his first musical experiences were in rock and blues piano improvisation. His music keeps in touch with the energy and communicative directness of those musical roots, now along with an expansive and exploratory classical sensibility that is “refreshingly new and solidly mature… and doesn’t take on airs, but instead takes joy in the process of discovery [and] in the continual experience of suspense and surprise that good classical music has always championed.” (Slate Magazine). A winner of the Rome Prize, Friar has received awards from Copland House, the Fromm Foundation, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Chamber Music America, ASCAP, Composer’s Inc., and New Music USA. His music can be found on labels including New Amsterdam Records, Innova Recordings, Vox Novus, and Crescent Phase Records. In late 2021, his album-length composition for NOW Ensemble, Before and After, was released on New Amsterdam Records
