The University of West Georgia’s School of Communication, Film, and Media is proud to announce the inaugural members of its Professional Advisory Board, which is designed to forge a closer collaboration between industry leaders and higher education experts to continually improve the preparation for students in the School of CFM. The board brings together a diverse group of industry professionals who are interested in the education and mentorship of future communication, film, and media leaders.
Our members represent broadcast journalism, corporate communications, film production, print and digital journalism, marketing and brand communications, public relations, and television production.
