We are now accepting proposals for the 2020 cohort of Communication Fellows! Guidelines and details can be found here.

In 2018, the Ohio University Scripps College of Communication launched the Communication Fellows Program. Focusing on curriculum development in communication across PK-12 levels of instruction, the fellowship offers graduate-level professional development credit, project support and generous stipends. We seek to increase interaction and collaboration between PK-12 faculty and higher education faculty who share mutual interests in communication-related instruction.

We define communication broadly to include but not be limited to:

• Social media use and consequences
• Use of communication technology in classrooms by students
• Teaching approaches to using communication technology
• The Internet of Things
• Audio podcasting
• Digital video creation and editing
• Journalism
• Photography
• Digital design
• Public speaking
• Health communication
• The structure of the internet
• Information/news literacy
• And much more 

Up to 10 fellows will be named each year, representative of rural Appalachian districts and urban districts in the state of Ohio.
