Communication & Media Symposium
For many years the Department of Communication & Media has held an annual symposium featuring invited guest speakers, faculty, current students, and alumni to talk on issues and topics that are of direct relevance to our students and to developments in the field of communication studies.
During the COVID-19 pandemic period the symposium was not held. We hope to be able to arrange the symposium in the coming years. We will post news to this webpage about it as plans develop.
The Symposium celebrates you! Featuring awards and speakers, the Symposium helps you conquer anything.
