We show our students that the world of Strategic Communication is fast-paced, ever-evolving, and critical to master for media, government, and all businesses to connect with their audiences and energize stakeholders.
Your commitment to this program helps power the co-curricular five fountains student-run agency, provides experiential trips to local Indy businesses and agencies, and supports our continuous efforts to develop strong writers, planners, marketing strategists, and creative designers.
five fountains, our aforementioned award-winning, student-run strategic communication agency, is just one way students can activate their passion within our integrated program blending public relations and advertising. Our engaged faculty encourage students to get hands-on experience from the first semester through graduation, often with multiple internships along the way.
Tangible experiences inside and outside the classroom help us show students what they can achieve—and your support is essential as we continue to prepare students for careers at Eli Lilly and Co., The Basement, Borshoff Agency, within local and state government, and a variety of additional agencies and media outlets across the United States.
