Bruce is going fishing!

Can the Energizer Bunny of Rhetoricians be retiring? Bruce Gronbeck is a great scholar, an Iowa treasure, and a personal friend to many hundreds of POROI participants since 1980. We are deeply, gratefully in his debt.

Bruce helped found POROI, and he has helped guide it ever since. He has generated Rhetoric Seminars, Symposia, and Workshops. He has contributed to POROI collections and journals. He helped conceive our graduate certificate program. For decades, Bruce has been our semi-official ambassador to Scandinavia; and he has traveled the world to share an amazing array of ideas on rhetoric in politics, media, and scholarship.
