Our Advisory Board offers incredible support

We look to our national Communications Advisory Board for both professional expertise and program support. Our students benefit enormously by having media professionals and corporate executives come to campus each semester to share their expertise in classes and with individual students. In fact, students tell us the Advisory Board visit is a highlight of the semester. In turn, our faculty benefits from their discussion of communication trends that may impact our curriculum, our internship program and the job market for our seniors. Additional program support comes in the form of gifts and development efforts. For example, the Advisory Board and other sources have raised more than a half-million dollars in gifts and pledges to support the School of Communications.

We thank our Advisory Board members for their generous support of our students and our program.
