Communication is central to our public and private lives. As a former competitive debater, debate coach, and now communication professor, I have seen firsthand the transformative effect that communication skills have for individuals and communities. My courses teach students to think critically about the messages they experience every day and to be more intentional when creating their own. I strive to instill communication competence and efficacy in students so they can succeed personally, academically, and professionally.
