    Upcoming Events & Opportunities


    New Media & Society Track Available
    If learning about how people use media and how that media use affects society sounds interesting to you, then you might consider signing up for the new telecommunication department specialization in Media & Society. The Media & Society track provides a new option for students who're interested in mass media but who don't want to pursue careers in print, broadcast or online journalism, public relations, advertising or broadcast station management. The track is designed for students who want to combine working with media, including social media, with careers in sports, health, the environment, politics or the non-profit or corporate worlds and for students planning to go on to law school or graduate study. Anyone who's interested in learning more about the new track should contact Dr. Kim Walsh-Childers at kwchilders@jou.ufl.edu.
