Here, at Northwestern’s School of Communication, we engage in serious play – in our collaborations, our research and our deep scholarship that creates real impact in the real world.
Our wide variety of backgrounds, thought and disciplines is one of our community's greatest strengths.
Performing at the highest levels in a lab or on the stage means hard work, training, critique, rigor. Everything we do is an experiment. The freedom to try, to stumble, to fail, and then joyously rise again is essential to all learning and growth.”
