Reporting, photography, broad- casting, advertising, public rela- tions .... They are just a few of the important aspects of mass communications .... just a few of the many opportunities rapid- ly opening up for Christian young people in an interesting and chal- lenging field. The faculty and ad- ministration recognize this, so, beginning in Fall, 1980, pending board approval, Lee College stu- dents will, for the first time, be able to major in communication.

Humbertson, along with Dr. Carolyn Dirksen, Dr. Sabord Woods tboth English pro- fessorsl and a part-time instructor in journalism and broadcasting will compose the faculty for the required courses. The communication program will be an interdisciplinary major in- volving three new courses in com- munication theory and existing courses in writing, speech, educa- tion, psychology, sociology, drama, music, and business communica- tion for a total of thirty-six hours teighteen of those in upper divi- sion coursesj. Humbertson also in- dicated that an internship program is a very good possibility. This could include opportunities at local radio stations, North Cleveland Church of God, and Forward in Faith. Student interest in the proposed communication major has been substantial. National statistics indi- cate an increasing demand for tal- ented professional individuals trained in communication skills. Starting next fall the College will begin doing its share to meet this need in both the church and the world at large. Hcodemlcs
