Comms Day is a holiday for Communicaions students, but what exactly does Comms Day consist of? MC499 CEO Ryan Kirkland explained that the event is designted to celebrate the communications studies program and the communications program as a whole. 

This year's theme for the program was "Celebrating Us" which was aimed at promoting that fact that communication is the point that we all have in common.

Students were encouraged to get to know both other students as well as several of the event’s other guests to help to build their personal networks as well as to discuss the techniques they’ve learned in their programs. 

Some of the guests were more than happy to talk about their experiences in the program, though they weren’t as recent as most.
