Ohio Northern University senior Lauren Staley, a communications and public relations major from Tipp City, Ohio, received the award for top undergraduate paper at the 78th annual Ohio Communications Association (OCA) Conference at Franklin University held Oct. 4-5.
Staley’s paper focused on research on Calvin Klein and the perception formed through the use of sex in advertising. Staley conducted this research as a part of her communications research class at ONU last spring. Staley was informed in advance that her paper had been chosen for presentation at the conference and was presented the award for the top undergraduate paper this past weekend.
