CMCI recently celebrated the first cohort of students to complete Connections: CMCI Summer Academy, a week-long summer experience that gives high school students a preview of college life and introduces them to current students, staff and faculty.
As part of the Pathways to Excellence Summer Intensive program, students get to know the ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ campus and city, tour local newsrooms and agencies, meet alumni, and work side-by-side with faculty and peers to produce creative projects.
Communication Professor Karen Ashcraft is applying her research expertise on the dynamics of race and gender as CMCI's new associate dean of diversity, equity and inclusion.
