Our faculty and staff are committed to national, regional and local service. Faculty serve on the boards of prestigious national and international organizations, provide regional service through outreach activities, and work with local organizations and clients to produce media for a variety of uses.

Our graduate faculty is a community of scholars, professionals and artists actively engaged in understanding, critiquing and creating media. The Office of the Dean supports the administrative functions of the College of Mass Communication and Media Arts.

Each academic unit in the college has its own academic adviser. In addition, there is an adviser for incoming freshmen and students in the college who have not yet chosen a major.

Student Support Services seeks to personalize and build upon the University's goal to provide students with the kind of college experience and learning environment necessary to help them meet their academic and professional goals.
