supporting forward thinking and innovative program development and see what the
Department of Communication Studies at Ashland University is planning for the
future as the very types of programming that will lead the field into the next
decade.” Professor Theodore Avtgis, Chair of the department said “we are very thankful to Kendall
Hunt Publishing as this generous gift can be utilized to enhance our students’
experiences and serve as a way to move us forward in the creation of our Health
and Risk Communication major that we are hoping to launch in the fall of 2013.” Carty further commented that "when
coupled with the innovative Sport Communication Program that they currently have, their development of the Health and Risk Communication
Major will clearly make them a leader in terms of being innovative and at the
fore front of what will surely be a highly successful program. We are
pleased to support the Department of Communication Studies in this building effort."
