Dr. Castle is forming a new Communication Studies Undergraduate Student Advisory Board and would like to talk with interested students as we get things off the ground!
Working Mission Statement
The Communication Studies Undergraduate Student Advisory Board is a group of student leaders who are majoring in Communication Studies. These students are passionate about the critical importance of communication and take seriously the need to combine academic excellence with real-world experience as they prepare for graduation. The Communication Studies major prepares students to better advocate for their own and for others’ positions, to negotiate difficulty and difference, and to better relate to others in personal, professional, and public contexts. As students situated in the College of Arts & Sciences, Communication Studies Majors should focus on pursuing academic excellence and acquiring a breadth of experience to prepare them for their professional lives after graduation. These experiences range from internships, education abroad experiences, campus and community leadership opportunities, and research activities. It is in this context and using the unique skill sets with which Communication Studies majors are equipped that, through a collaborative partnership with faculty and graduate students, the CSSAB strives to achieve five fundamental things:

First, to promote the Communication Studies major on campus and in the community;
Second, to represent the student perspective on department initiatives;
Third, to foster a collaborative community for Communication Studies students
Fourth to provide its members with meaningful professional development opportunities;
Fifth to educate majors in Communication about both how to develop and execute a plan for their own professional developments as students on campus as well as how to translate their degree to a variety of professional contexts.
