FAST FACTS ABOUT COMMUNICATION AT UIS

Number of Majors, 2009-2010: 138 undergraduates, 41 master's level students

Current Needs:
- Scholarships: Our greatest need is for scholarships that target communication students. Most of our students have to work to help pay their own way. More than you might think have to take semesters or longer off before they can continue their education. Please help them afford books, fees, and so much more.
- Faculty development funds: These help faculty stay current in our field--and because of constant advances in technology, this is vital for our communication professors.
- Unrestricted funds: These allow us to respond to unexpected needs and opportunities, so in many ways your unrestricted gifts are particularly powerful.
