Our Mission and Vision
Our Mission
COJO educates students and the broader UW community about the importance of communication in any career or life path. COJO offers guidance and instruction on successful interpersonal, intercultural, global, public, and media communication. COJO strives to expose and instruct students to the cutting edge media production technologies and media research. COJO strives to engage students to critical, analytical, and challenging thinking and reasoning in communication such that they are thoughtful and deliberative citizens. COJO’s goals are to empower students to listen to and critique their communicative environments (private and public) and to empower students to create and produce their own successful communication messages.
Our Vision
The Communication and Journalism Department aspires to be an academic leader in various communication contexts, media teaching, research, and creative projects, recognized for empowering students through intellectual inquiry to meet the communication challenges of a globally connected society.
