Shari R/ Veil, MBA, Ph.D.

Dean & Professor

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Journalism and Mass Communications has been accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications since 1954 and is the only accredited journalism and mass communications program in Nebraska.

Up for reaccreditation in 2023, the site team’s recent report praised our “do from day one” mantra, strong administrative team, research momentum, curricular innovation, facilities and collegial, collaborative “can-do” faculty. The report also indicated areas for improvement, including the need for a more consistent advising experience, systematic assessment plan, dedicated affinity groups for underrepresented students and a sustainability plan for the Experience Lab. The accreditation team’s recommendation: full reaccreditation.

While we still have work to do, as I look back over this last year—over these last four years—I am blown away by how far we have come and how much we have accomplished. The cover of this report says it all. I am so insanely proud of this college.

Chris Graves and Linda White joined the College of Journalism and Mass Communications in August 2023 as Deepe Family Endowed Chairs in Depth Reporting.

The Deepe Family Endowed Chairs were established in 2022 through a donation of farmland in Hebron, Nebraska, formerly belonging to Martin and Doris Deepe. Their daughter, Beverly Deepe Keever, a UNL College of Journalism and Mass Communications graduate, oversaw the $4.65 million sale of the land and the establishment of the endowment. She worked closely with CoJMC to ensure the gift honors her parents’ legacy and supports journalism education at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for generations.
