In addition to academic study in the discipline, communication students can learn more about themselves, become more socially adept and increase their marketability to employers.Communication majors often play a leading role in student government and become active in extracurricular activities. Leadership roles include president of the University Honors Program Council, president of the Interfraternity Council, editor of?The Hatchet, or manager of WRTV radio.
