4/19/10 IEC comments:
- Expand courses for non-native speakers of English. Include more “multicultural communication” – global focus
- Identify strength + weakness of department
- It’s hard to understand exactly what they do
- Align unmet goals or new initiatives so faculty can continue to address
- Consider expanding “Communication’s” role beyond human communications (verbal skills) include media, technology influence or impact
- There’s no concrete plans to improve the departments. We need them to develop a vision.
