#COMWeek2017 will kick off on Feb. 21 with a theme centered around Missouri State’s new brand, Make Your Missouri Statement.

These events offer opportunities for students who are interested in communication to engage with important ideas and influential figures in the field.

Students with COMWeek posters
Megan Hayes, Tina Pham and Bryar Keyes hold marketing collateral they created for COMWeek.

During COMWeek, students get the chance to interact with leading scholars in the field, including ones who have written textbooks used in Missouri State communication courses. There will also be an interactive alumni panel and networking opportunities — events where you can build relationships with communication students, faculty and alumni.

Learn more about COMWeek from this interview with Dr. Shawn Wahl.
