Join us today as we catch up with Dr. Ignatius Fosu, the chair of the Department of Communication and Media at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala. Iggy has had many cool jobs in his life including but not limited to being a DJ and radio host for a radio station in Accra, Ghana.  When he came to the United States to start a masters degree program in Marketing, he discovered the world of advertising, and after a chance meeting with the College of Communication and Information Sciences Dean, Dr. Mark Nelson, he wound up in the C&IS Ph.D. program, and as they say, from there, it's history.  Iggy's research focuses on two main threads related to advertising: the risk information that gets communicated to consumers about drug products and the advertising of food to children--both incredibly important and practical topics.  After spending many years as a professor at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville, Iggy was encouraged to apply for the position he currently has as an administrator at Samford University.
