Karlie Harmon, Director of International Mass Communication programs for Oklahoma City University, is home from Singapore where she hosted an academic seminar “Mass Communications In A New Media World”.  She also attended the OCU’s graduation ceremony at the Ritz Carlton and celebrated with a Sunday brunch at Raffles Hotel.

Featured speakers at the seminar were OCU President Robert Henry and OCU Trustee Jane Jayroe Gamble. Gerald Gamble also attended and is also a trustee.

This is the 20th year for the program from which 2500 students have received bachelors and masters degrees in mass communications programs. OCU partners with the Management Development Institute of Singapore. Harmon taught the first mass communications class that was offered in Singapore and has been going four times yearly since then. This was the first mass communications program in Singapore and is the only American mass communications program there and in the region.
