• Student Testimonial of I'yanna Wilson: Through these two years in the program, I have had the opportunity to learn, grow, and explore my interests in the field. This year, I was awarded the 2022-2023 Graduate Student Teaching Effectiveness Award within my department. I am grateful for the options, the support from the faculty within the School of Communication, and my friends/family. As a first-generation college student, graduating with my Master of Arts in Communication means more than I can explain.
  • Student Testimonial of Kaitlin Hennessey: The AGDP will add value to my career because not only am I gaining new knowledge, I'm also learning important soft skills such as presenting, working with others, and prioritizing. All these skills will help me with my future career. The program has also made me more confident with myself and my abilities, which I have found to be beneficial.
  • Student Testimonial of Kelsey Zook: Western Michigan University & the School of Communication graduate program were game changers for both my professional and academic careers. Throughout my journey at WMU, I was touched by so many intelligent and qualified mentors. I chose to pursue the program and continue my degree during the heat of the COVID-19 pandemic; throughout this process, I had extremely supportive professors that went above and beyond to ensure I had a great education.
  • I'm happy to announce that I graduated with my master's degree in organizational and strategic communication from Western Michigan University! The past two years have been incredibly rewarding and I am so grateful for this education and those who supported me along the way. Grace Parmeter, M.A. 2023
