You attend a networking event sponsored by the career center on your campus. At the networking event you are introduced to Brendan, and you immediately "hit it off" with him

Does this meeting signal the "beginning" of your communication with Brendan? You should develop a clear answer to this question and explain your answer.
What will be an ideal response?


No. Communication is a process that has no beginning or ending. Communication encounters
take place within a "flow" of life. If you meet someone at a networking event, there are certain
events that caused you to go to that networking event, some of which could have taken place
years before (e.g., if the networking event focused on teaching jobs and you knew that you wanted
to be a teacher since childhood). Although the actual verbal conversation with Brendan may have
begun at the networking event, your communication with him is part of a never-ending (or
beginning) process.
