Ramon Looby
MAMC 2008 |

Ramon Looby began his academic career in the UF College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, but upon graduation he knew he wanted more. He had a passion for communication and found a kindred spirit at the UF College of Journalism and Communications. That spirit was former Telecommunication Professor and Senior Associate Dean Lynda Kaid. Her expertise in political communication inspired him to follow a path of advocacy and public policy. |
