COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT

speaking clearly

A YEAR OF CHALLENGES

It's no secret that COVID-19 had

major impacts on Missouri Southern
over the past two years. This rang
especially true for the
communication department. With
smaller class sizes and social
distancing, the virus truly tested our
communication skills with the
various changes we faced. For staff
this meant focused teaching
through Zoom and Blackboard. For
students it meant adapting to split
classes and constant mask usage.

COMMUNICATION AWARD SHOW

The communication department worked

hard over the spring 2021 semester to
prepare the first-ever public
Communication Awards Show, now
viewable on YouTube. The production
crew included sophomores, juniors, and
seniors from the communication
department and includes award
ceremonies, senior testimonials, and a
featured Project of the Year.
