Message from the Director

The School of Communication is off to a great start in 2023! It’s uplifting to see our students, faculty, and staff in action and filling Shanks Hall with activity.

 

We’re looking forward to a number of exciting events in the months to come: Giving Day, Comm Week, commencement ceremonies, and many more.

 

In the meantime, please enjoy some sights and sounds from our students, faculty, staff, and alumni family.
