The Communication Studies faculty believe it is our responsibility to encourage, challenge, and support students in building upon their written and oral communication skills. It is through communication that we share our identities, foster relationships, and engage in an exchange of ideas that construct our social, cultural, and political reality.
Diversity
We embrace diversity. We explore communication through our own lived experience acknowledging that each student has a voice and is influential to the creation of society.
Ethical Communiction
We support ethical communication. We believe it is our responsibility to promote communication concepts, theories, and skills that inspire competent and effective communicators.
Critical Thinking
We cultivate critical thinkers. Research is an integral part of communication studies. Successful communicators gain knowledge from researching and understanding various sides of an issue.
Civic Engagement
We believe in social justice. Communication sparks social, cultural, and political change. We provide opportunities to engage in discussions and activities concerning the influence of power, equity, and the impact on communities.
