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 diversity of background, thought and disciplines is one of our community's greatest strengths.
My intention for the school is to foster equitable access and achievement, diversity of background and thought, a foot in the door, and a seat at the table. I feel an obligation to make sure that I’m not the last person of color or queer or first-generation college student to sit in this role. I’m here to listen and to lead.”
