- Reunite colleagues who have similar research and teaching interests
- Reunite colleagues who have made significant contributions through their collaborative work
- Reunite colleagues who have shared mentorship experiences
- Build new unions within ECA to move our discipline forward
- Build new unions between ECA and the larger communities in which our members live and work
- Create opportunities to connect around shared research and teaching interests
- Provide opportunities for reflection on the effects of the global pandemic on our teaching, research, and professional development and how to move forward
- Enable deliberations on how communication scholars and educators contribute to a post-pandemic world.

- Scale development and testing studies.
- Meta analyses.
- Comprehensive literature reviews.
