Shari R. Veil, MBA, Ph.D. Dean & Professor
Dear students,
I'm so excited to join the College of Journalism and Mass Communications and welcome you back to campus this fall. While this fall may look different, we remain committed to providing you with a hands-on experience working with world-renowned faculty to gain the skills and knowledge you'll need to succeed in your future career and beyond.
The CoJMC team has been working hard to prepare for the fall semester. Here you will find information about your classes, clubs and organizations and other opportunities available to you.
All CoJMC students and parents were invited to attend a series of town halls to talk with staff in the college in July. If you missed the discussion, you can review the videos below.
Our doors are always open. Never hesitate to reach out, seek help, ask questions, or just chat. We can't wait to see you and all the great things you will accomplish in CoJMC.
Go Big Red!
Shari
