Faculty & Staff

The faculty at the School of Communication Studies brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the classroom. Most have worked extensively in the disciplines they teach; many continue their industry involvement through participation in local and national associations, conferences, and as adjudicators, evaluators, commentators, and consultants.

Faculty and staff members alike demonstrate a genuine commitment to the success of students and the program, developing innovative learning materials, working directly with students, and dedicating the time and energy required to ensure that success.
