Every year, the Elliott School of Communication hosts CommWeek, which a series of events and short programs for communication students to attend and learn more about the industry. This year, the week runs Oct. 17-19.

The department brings alumni and professionals to campus to talk about their experiences and give students insight on the field of communication they work in. Students are able to learn from and connect with the alumni and professionals that attend. There are also times for students to network with professionals from local area businesses and talk about career and internship opportunities.

The week offers students the chance to explore how what they are studying can be used in future jobs and how they can use their development and skills in the industry.
