BETHANY, W.Va. – Danny H. Rubin, an award-winning author and speaker on business communication skills, will give the keynote address at this year’s John Keresty Lecture in Journalism on Wednesday, September 27, at 7 p.m. in the Renner Art Gallery. The lecture is part of the 56th Communications and Media Arts Week, which will focus on the theme “It’s On Us,” and will take place Sept. 25 – 30.

Rubin is the author of “Wait, How Do I Write This Email?” which is a collection of more than 100 templates for networking and the job search, as well as “Wait, How Do I Promote My Business?” which is ideal for the small business owner. As a business communication speaker, Rubin provides a step-by-step guide for email communication, job applications, website content, press releases, and crowdfunding pages.

In 2015, he was the winner of the “Plank Center Award” for commitment to mentorship, a finalist in the “2016 Best Book” awards contest, and a 2016 “Notable Indie” book as decided by Shelf Magazine.

While the Keresty Lecture is often the most publicized of Communications Week events, presentations and workshops from prominent Bethany College alumni and professionals in communications and media arts will take place all week. The program is designed to help students better understand the diverse and quickly evolving world of media communications, take advantage of the wide array of potential experiences as undergraduates, and move through their undergraduate years and into their professional careers successfully. Communications Week is presented by the Bethany College Department of Communications & Media Arts.
