COM Week
During the spring semester, the communication department hosts its annual COM Week. This week features the achievements of our alumni in a number of ways. First, you may attend the alumni-student networking luncheon on the Friday of COM Week. Second, you can share your career experiences and expertise with our current students through a workshop lecture. In the past, alumni have shared on a variety of topics, including writing scholarship applications and job searching. We invite you to share in our COM Week festivities!
