Department of Communication and Media

Welcome to the website of the WCU Communication & Media Alumni Advisory Board (AAB)

The Board consists of an esteemed group of graduates from our BA or MA programs who currently work across a diverse range of professions and have interest in “paying it forward” through supporting the Department’s mission of educating tomorrow’s communication professionals.

The Board was initially established by the department in 2019 and aims to includes a diverse range of graduates who currently work across a wide range of communication and media related professions. These fields are in a dynamic state, with new technologies, trends, and even entire industries emerging constantly. Through regular Board events each semester, the Department’s faculty are able to listen to our alumni and incorporate their experiences into our curriculum, on-campus clubs and organizations, and future event programming.

The faculty and chair meet with the advisory board each semester to discuss topics that can assist us in understanding the best practices used by professionals in journalism, television news, advertising, public relations, digital and social media and other areas.
