The University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Journalism and Mass Communications announces Assistant Professor Kelli Boling as the December Professor of the Month.
Boling joined the College of Journalism and Mass Communications in the fall of 2022 after a 12-year career as an executive in marketing and advertising executive in North and South Carolina. She holds a Ph.D. in mass communications from the University of South Carolina. Her research, published in notable journals, focuses on media reception by marginalized audiences, and she is recognized for her work on women in podcast audiences.
Freshman journalism major Emma Bullerman nominated Boling. In nomination, Bullerman said, “Kelli Boling deserves to be recognized for her incredible work as an educator. I have never been in a class so welcoming and genuinely learning-centered. No matter what topic she is discussing, she provides the facts and sources to back them up, which is appreciated. Not to mention, her ability to capture the attention of a 250+ person class is unmatched, and that speaks to her abilities as a speaker and professor. As a student of hers, I look forward to taking in everything she has to say!”
