On February 22, 2024, Illinois State University celebrated its sixth successful Birds Give Back. Redbirds across the nation donated funds in show of support—and the School of Communication saw a record-breaking number of gifts and dollars donated from alumni, faculty, friends, and students.
On March 4, 1974, TV-10 aired the first broadcast of its 50-year (and counting) legacy. Today, the half-century celebration is officially underway in the School of Communication.
Dr. Kimberly Rios will give a talk, titled “Harnessing the many facets of white identity to reduce feelings of threat and improve intergroup relations,” on Tuesday, March 5, at 3:30 p.m. in 48 DeGarmo Hall.
Dr. Janay B. Sander will speak at the 27th Annual School Psychology Institute workshop from 8:30-11:30 a.m. on Monday, April 15, in Room 118 at the Illinois State University Alumni Center and will also give a research talk from 2-3 p.m. in 551 DeGarmo Hall.
With extensive courses, dedicated faculty, and culminating experiences that prepare students for their careers, communications majors remain a reminder of why the School of Communication is the best in the Midwest to study communication.
Four graduate student researchers will represent the College of Arts and Sciences in the university-wide Three Minute Thesis competition on February 29 at 6 p.m. at the Normal Theater. This event is free and open to the public. Please come and support our students!
In its sixth year, Birds Give Back will be Thursday, February 22, during Redbird Philanthropy Week, February 19-23. Building Birds Together is the theme for 2024 Birds Give Back, as thousands of Redbirds unite to support Redbird causes.
Three things are guaranteed to happen when a group of School of Communication alums comes together. First, there will always be conversation—with a healthy dose of laugher, connection, and storytelling. Second, there will be coffee—hot, iced, or otherwise. And third, an idea will strike—and when it does, it will brew and percolate until a team of leaders emerges.
The School of Communication is #RedbirdProud of the most recent recipients of the Illinois State University Outstanding Teaching Awards.
In October 2023, the Illinois State University chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) attended the ICON national conference in Nashville.
