The School of Communications National Advisory Board made its second visit to campus this year April 12.

Seventeen School of Communications Advisory Board members visited campus April 12.

Seventeen members of the School of Communications Advisory Board discussed the changing media environment, reviewed the latest plans for the school’s future expansion, and spoke in 10 Communications classes April 12.

Participants agreed that storytelling is the common thread across all majors in the School of Communications and that writing remains the most valuable skill that students can possess.

At a luncheon, four students gave presentations, and Elon University President Leo Lambert spoke on “The Impact and Value of an Elon Education.”
