The School of Communication and Journalism partnered with Raycom Media in 2013 to create a state-of-the-art multimedia newsroom to train student journalists. Faculty and Raycom news professionals work with students in the newsroom to reinforce classroom lessons with live reporting experiences. Our desired candidate will be able to contribute to this initiative.

Tenure-track faculty members are expected to engage in scholarly research or appropriate creative work.
