The Department of Journalism & Multimedia Arts to Launch New Name at its Celebration of Excellence Event

The Department of Journalism & Multimedia Arts (JMA) in the McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts will officially be known as the Department of Media beginning Tuesday, March 28, at the department’s annual Celebration of Excellence.

“Our department offers majors in multiplatform journalism, public relations/advertising, and digital media arts, along with three M.S. concentrations,” said Department Chair Dr. Mike Dillon. “By changing our name to Media, we’re making it clear where students can find majors in media within the McAnulty College. We’re excited to be launching the new name at this year’s Celebration of Excellence.”

Celebration of Excellence will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Dougherty Ballroom of the Power Center, and will showcase the recent work of faculty and students. The event also includes the opportunity for local high school students to attend and participate in mini-workshops and speak to current Duquesne media students.

Celebration of Excellence is free and open to the Duquesne community and area high school students.
