The Board of Visitors of the College of Communication (CCOM)
support and advise the dean, faculty, and staff in realizing their
mission of graduating majors and minors who are highly competent
and culturally aware communicators and media practitioners. Merging
the liberal arts with a pre-professional orientation, CCOM students
are taught to evaluate issues critically, analyze problems
systematically, and implement solutions that are ethical and humane
as well as professional, useful, and profitable. Above all else,
they learn a wide range of communication theories and skills,
enabling them to survive and thrive in an increasingly diverse and
technologically-complex world.
