In August 2020, the College of Journalism and Mass Communications launched a year-long strategic planning process to lay the groundwork for the future.
The process will engage a variety of college stakeholders.
“Including our alumni and industry partners in strategic planning is particularly important,” Veil said. “Their voices ensure we protect the college’s legacy while remaining in touch with current industry trends.”
Overall 78 individuals will participate in developing the college’s strategic plan, including 48 faculty and staff, 9 undergraduate and graduate students and 21 alumni and industry partners.
