For forty years, our School has stood in steadfast dedication to Communication. We celebrate our commitment to creativity, collaboration, and credibility, in shaping the production of news, film, media, and strategic communication. We take pride in the scholarship chronicling the significance of communication and in leading social and professional impact.
As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we honor the legacy of those who have built this vibrant School, recognize the impressive accomplishments of our current community, and look ahead to our next chapter of excellence. Our rankings have quickly elevated to demonstrate our value as a top national program, in communication, advertising, public relations, journalism, film, and additional media studies and production. The study and practice of communication is foundational to every human endeavor. Communication has never been more relevant than in our current networked, global society.
Join us as we reflect on our past, celebrate our present, and envision an even brighter future.
