Julie L. Taylor, Ph.D

Current Status:

Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Studies

Classes Taught:

Undergraduate and Graduate courses in: Organizational Communication, Communication & Gender, and Persuasion.

Why I believe in the Center:

During my graduate years at the University of Utah, I was a communication consultant for the College of Engineering. This interdisciplinary experience not only changed my perspective on the immediate importance of the communication discipline, but I watched it transform the lives of students. Communication is the foundation of our lives. Thus, effective communication must be learned, treated with great care, and practiced.
