The School of Communications continues to attract large numbers of students, and is one of the largest Social Science departments.
Graduate students continue to be productive in their research and writing.
In spite of a heavy teaching load faculty have produced numerous books, book chapters and articles. We are emphasizing outreach to other units on campus and in the community. We also have been successful in raising funds. We have succeeded in hiring two outstanding young scholars as assistant professors, starting this fall. Patricia Moy, who is joining us from the University of Wisconsin, and David Domke, from the University of Minnesota, both have impressive lists of research publications already, and excellent reputations as teachers.
