Gaylord / J-School Alumni,
Congratulations! You are one of 10,000+ J-school/Gaylord College alumni living and working around the world, and I am sure you are doing remarkable things with your OU degree. In the hopes of keeping you connected to Gaylord College, I wanted to take some time to give you my sense of where Gaylord College is now, and where we are going in the future.
Gaylord College is a place where inspiration connects with creativity and propels difference makers into meaningful careers in media, journalism and beyond. It’s where forward-thinking curriculum, underpinned by a strong emphasis on ethics, critical thinking and inclusion, prepares the leaders of tomorrow in fields that will demand nothing but the best in communication skills.
I believe this is one of the most exciting times in the history of media, as the ongoing digital revolution means some graduates of our program now have the opportunity to create their own businesses and attract their own customers. At the same time, our grads are getting jobs at companies and other organizations that in some cases didn’t exist but a few years ago.
The possibilities at Gaylord College are ever expanding:
As you can imagine, we are proud of Gaylord College and the favorable attention we’ve received. Among other honors, the Broadcast Education Association has recognized Gaylord College as the No. 2 program in the country based on student achievements, with Top 5 rankings across film and video (No. 1), news (No. 2), sports (No. 5) and scriptwriting (No. 5).
I hope that you will stay connected to Gaylord College by joining the Gaylord College Alumni Association. I encourage you to take advantage of the great programs and events that will take place throughout the year, as well as keep us updated on current contact information and post-graduation accomplishments.
Thank you as always for your continued support of Gaylord College. We hope to see you on campus or at an alumni event soon!
Sincerely,
David Craig
Interim Dean, Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication
