Chair Catherine Cobbey, Justin Edwards, Scott Thurman.
Part-time: Eric Convey, Kirby Francis, Cliff Hersey, John Sarrouf.

MISSION: The Communication Arts Department cultivates wisdom in understanding, evaluating and creating visual stories. Recognizing the responsibilities of meaning-making through the interplay of visual and verbal symbols, we explore how forms of visual storytelling mediate culture and human relations in our participatory, global context of media convergence. We seek to reflect the image of God as Creator and Mediator, developing creative and critical sensibilities shaped in the traditions of Christian theology and communication theory.
