The division is headed by Dr. Steve Johnson. Both departments hosted career days to assist their majors in learning about vocational possibilities. Business students, through the Society for the Advancement of Management, organized their career day, according to Dwayne Wilson, business chairman. Six graduates of the department now working in business fields spoke on accounting, personnel administration, and finance and banking. The communication department had not one, but two career days. Public relations majors had their own day and later in the year a Communication Day was held. Speakers at Communication Day were all alumni and included those working in broadcasting, news, and law. The business department boasts the largest number of majors of any department, 286. Wilson attributes their success to job opportunities and excellent faculty. The communication department progressed particularly in the area of television broadcasting. Their efforts were aided by the acquisition of the news set formerly belonging to WMC-TV Channel 5 in Memphis. They also began broadcasting programs from National College Television over the local cable service, An evening newscast was shown on campus only. Dr. Gerald Fulkerson is the chairman of the communication department. QQ
