Meet our award-winning faculty – professors who have led communications programs for a Fortune 10 company, helmed PRWEEK’s “Agency of the Past 20 Years,” served as U.S. CEO for a Top 5 PR firm, and other internationally recognized scholars. Our industry-renowned experts are top public relations pros, Page Society members, and PRSA Outstanding Educator award winners, at the nation’s only university with two endowed PR professorships. As a mix of researchers and practitioners, our faculty enables students to learn not only the “how” of public relations from those who practiced at the top of the field, but the underlying theories, the “why” of communication, while bringing PR experiences and connections to you.
