    A group of people pose for a photo in front of the Brock University wall in the Rankin Family Pavilion with CPCF Campaign Challenge winners Solomon Mike, who holds up a giant cheque, and Harman Kaur, who holds up the O’Malley Cup trophy.

    The CPCF Campaign Challenge is back for 2026! The Department of Communication, Popular Culture and Film will once again host the event on Friday, February 27.

    Teams of students will attempt to solve a contemporary communication issue by developing and presenting a creative pitch that offers a compelling solution. Finalist teams will pitch their ideas to a panel of industry expert judges. The winning team will take home $1,500, with additional cash prizes for the second and third place teams.

    This year’s challenge asks: How do you get 18–24 year-olds to switch from cars to the new Toronto–Niagara GO Train route? How would you make the train more attractive than the alternative?

    For more information and official contest rules, be sure to check out the Campaign Challenge site. Also, follow us on Instagram and LinkedIn for updates.

    A screen shot from a virtual meeting. It is split with one half being the Senator in his office, and the other a class rom full of students in a lecture hall. everyone is giving a thumbs up.

    The Honourable Senator Andrew Cardozo participated in a video call with the Communication and Media Policy (Comm 3P19) course on Oct. 31st, 2025. The students learned about the work of a Senator including reviewing bills and hearing from witnesses when studying them in a committee. Senator Cardozo shared some of their experiences of applying to be a Senator, and the implications of Senate reforms from 2015, which have increased the number of Senators who are not affiliated with a political party. The class also benefited greatly from learning about Senator Cardozo’s work to contribute to policies related to the future of the CBC, and some of his previous experiences as a CRTC Commissioner.

    Thank you to Senator Cardozo and the SENgage program for making this visit possible.

    four people, some in Brock University clothing, stand behind a table and pose for a photo. The sign behind them identifies their department programs as Buisnes Communication, Media and Communication and Film Studies

    The department was well represented at Fall Preview Day on Sunday Nov 2, as staff, faculty and student ambassadors welcomed prospective students to Brock.  The university estimates there were more than 4,700 guests — the largest draw since the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Visitors were able to speak with their future professors and peers and learn about our multi-disciplinary program and how it can set them up for future careers.  Whether they had questions about emerging AI, an ever-changing media landscape, or how a strong understanding of communication can shape success in the business world, students left with a clear understanding of how CPCF can offer the tools needed in an increasingly unpredictable world.
