Journalism and Communication

Telling stories to inform, engage, and move people to action requires more than communication skills.

It takes the ability to think critically and strategically, the resilience to adapt to an ever-evolving media landscape, and the opportunity to practice it all in the field. That’s why we anchor the knowledge gained in the classroom with supportive faculty mentors and active participation in award-winning publications, student-run agencies with real-world clients, working trips around the globe, and paid internships.

Tom circled the globe to come to the UO, drawn by the combined attraction of new experiences, Pacific Northwest beauty, and the opportunity to play college football on the US stage. Though he experienced some of the highest highs as the Ducks punter, it was the hours spent in Allen Hall with peers, faculty members, and friends that were the most valuable part of his time in Eugene. In his words, “You’re treated as so much more than a student in the School of Journalism and Communication.”

Sally Lim

Assistant Professor of Cultural Diversity and Brand Responsibility

Social media has given more people than ever a platform to speak out—including brands. Sally is diving into the ways organizations and consumers interact on social media when it comes to important social issues, examining better ways to deliver messaging, audience reactions, and how brands listen and respond to those reactions. For Sally, the goal is to help companies “walk the talk” when it comes to brand activism, and a big part of her work is to teach the next generation of advertising students the skills they need to use their work for good.
