Hello. I'm Deric and welcome to my blog...Wait, I think I can say that with a little more flavor. Take two- Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The SCEM VIEW, with Deric! Yeah, that's more like it. I'm an Atlanta based actor, creator, writer, producer and youth developer with a background in human services and communications. Here, you'll get a VIEW of my thoughts of the content we are discussing in my Strategic Communications and Emerging Media (SCEM) course which I am required to do if I plan to complete my graduate studies here at Troy University👐🏾. This blog will be updated weekly for (at least) the next nine weeks during the class. And that's all the time we have for now. I look forward to seeing you all right back here again next week for the next episode (blog post) of The SCEM VIEW, with Deric.

As you know, this is my Strategic Communication & Emerging Media (SCEM) blog and we're glad to have you back with us.

“I Just Wanna Be Successful” December 10, 2017 By: Deric Kennedy “We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than our successes. We think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn’t. Success often lies just the other side of failure.” Leo F. Buscaglia. Welcome back to  The SCEM VIEW , with Deric! By now, you know that I’m pursuing a master’s degree in Strategic Communication at Troy University. This blog (which I like to pretend is a popular prime time talk show where strategic communication and pop culture fuse) was originally created to explore and discuss various topics and content in a previous class, Strategic Communication & Emerging Media (SCEM), but I have since completed that course and am now taking COM6610 Leadership and Issues in Strategic Communication. I decided to hold on to the name “The SCEM View” because it's catchy and you guys already know it…so why not? And so, here we are. Let's keep riding this thing out! ...

As you know, I’m pursuing a master’s degree in Strategic Communication at Troy University and this blog was created to explore the content we discuss each week in my Strategic Communication & Emerging Media (SCEM) course. Glad to have you back with us! Quick recap of last week, my COM 66030 class briefly explored mobile technologies and the way they are changing the way people seek information.
