Keynote Topic:

What Happy Couples Do:
Stuff We All Should Know about Communication and Relationships

A marriage and family researcher and professor of communication and journalism, Dr. Carol Bruess will leave you saying "Dang, I wish I had known that years ago!" Through her stories and insights drawn from her research with happy couples, she'll give you a primer on what everyone should know (and can do right now) to make the communication in their relationships just plain old better. As she often says: "If you're going to study something, why not study something that makes you happy?" This professor surely does. Come and share in the dialogue about topics important to all of us: relationships, joy and the day-to-day moments of our lives lived with others.

Carol was recently featured in the St. Norbert College Magazine. Read more
