Graduate Faculty
At WT, you'll have many opportunities to work one-on-one with your professors and community leaders. Our faculty build strong working relationships with all of our students, providing support and resources to enable student success. By acting as mentors and including students as research partners, the communication faculty actively investigates current communication trends and stays up-to-date on course knowledge. All faculty members encourage graduate students to participate in a wide range of activities from research conferences to storytelling festivals.
