By Kellie Doherty Graduate school is busy and stressful. But don’t get me wrong, I love my book publishing program. I’ll be sad to leave next month, but sometimes I just have to do something else.

As students, it is important to understand how to use digital media to accomplish these goals, it is equally important not to lose our basic face-to-face communication skills. Practice your face-to-face communication: Treat your cellphone … Continue reading Is your reliance on Digital Technology Costing you Career Opportunities?
