Putting communication theory into practice, three PhD students engage in Extension internships that result in a Middle Eastern cookbook, updated curricula for a local 4-H program, and increase awareness of Extension and the Colorado State Fair.
After the program’s launch in 2017, the first three graduates of the Ph.D. in Communication earned their doctorates in 2021. The entire cohort, including two students still working on their dissertations, accepted competitive job offers inside and outside academia— everywhere from liberal arts colleges to the City of Fort Collins.
