The Communication Department is a community of scholars, staff and students engaged in studying and producing communication for the common good.
Together, we seek to model leadership and foster collaboration by encouraging:
- critical understanding of the human communication process and contemporary media
- applied skills in interpersonal and mediated communication
- social engagement and ethical reasoning about all forms of communication
- commitment to service to our university, the discipline, our communities and global society
- integration of theory and practice in our teaching, learning, research, creative work and service
We value the development of the whole person: the mind, the voice, the heart, the spirit. We are committed to understanding and advancing social justice. For us, this involves embracing the diversity of cultures, beliefs and experiences in our increasingly interconnected world. It also includes exploring inequities of communicative power and resources, addressing their causes, and imagining their remedies.
