Join us today as we catch up with Ph.D. alum Dr. Richard Rush, who now serves as the Executive Director of Strategic Communication for the City of Tuscaloosa. In today's conversation, we learn all about his path to the Ph.D., along with two other siblings who have the same degree from the same college (Roll Tide!) as well as how his path has shifted from the professional world to academia and back to the professional world. Richard tells us how his mass communication theory class, of all his classes, really prepped him for much of what he is doing right now working in crisis and risk management.  Have you ever thought about the people who have to spring into action when a severe storm is heading toward your city? Or if a bomb threat is called in at the courthouse? These are just some of the many things Richard has to deal with on the fly, but he tells us all how his research in sports and risk management helped prepare him for all of it.
