We love our alumni! We want to hear about your personal and professional accomplishments because your success is our success. Also, alumni are a great resource for practicum and internship experiences, helping the next generation of our students. Please contact the department office with updates about your personal and professional achievements, so we can celebrate with you.

COM Week

During the spring semester, the communication department hosts its annual COM Week. This week features the achievements of our alumni in a number of ways. First, you may attend the alumni-student networking luncheon on the Friday of COM Week. Second, you can share your career experiences and expertise with our current students through a workshop lecture. In the past, alumni have shared on a variety of topics, including writing scholarship applications and job searching. We invite you to share in our COM Week festivities!
