Welcome Back and Keep Up the Good Work!
It was no wonder that student work submitted by Communications studentswas of such advanced quality during the last academic year. Students went back to the monitor to perfect their work so often that, at its peak, the computer lab was recording an average of 250 logins per day. All told, students and faculty accessed the department's 26 lab computers 15,228 times during the fall and spring. Phew!
