Department Chair's Message

Edward L. Fink

Dear Alumni and Friends,

The 2003-2004 academic school year was certainly an eventful one in the Department of Communication! Our success and growth is evidenced by the accomplishments of our faculty and students, many of which are recognized in this newsletter. Our department’s influence on the field of communication extends beyond our many contributions to communication conferences and academic journals. Our faculty members are committed to the discipline as well as to serving society, which is demonstrated through our department’s theoretical and applied relationships.
Through the 2004 Colloquium Series, the Department of Communication continued its commitment to high-quality scholarship, intellectual exchange of ideas, and communication between University of Maryland scholars and the entire communication community. We invite scholars to share their latest research with our students and faculty. Click here for a list of this semester’s colloquia.
