MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

2021

DR. MCDERMOTT came to HPU from the University of New Mexico, where for nine years she was a faculty member in the Department of Communication and Journalism. Her research examines how problematic events change the nature of relationships and conversations, how communication facilitates coping, and how communication campaigns can be used to address health disparities and social inequities. For the past few years, she and her students have addressed various health risk issues, including teen pregnancy and prescription drug abuse, by using community-based approaches to campaign development. Her recent publications include an article in Communication Theory and The Journal of International and Intercultural Communication. She has extensive experience in organizational training and specializes in seminars on how to develop a positive organizational environment.

Thank you for considering High Point University and the Nido R. Qubein School of Communication (NQSC). As you explore the possibilities that our university and the NQSC have to offer, it is my sincere hope that you find precisely what you are looking for academically. Students in the NQSC focus on one of 10 majors: Event Management, Game Design, Hospitality Management, Journalism, Media Production and Entrepreneurship, Popular Culture and Media Production, Social Media and Digital Communication, Sport Management, Sports Media or Strategic Communication. Even with the wide range of majors, each NQSC student will leave HPU with four common elements: (a) well-developed communication and presentation skills; (b) production skills to create their own messages; (c) an understanding of the legal and ethical issues in the profession, and (d) real-world experience in their discipline. Our faculty have significant professional experience, but they are hired first and foremost because of their genuine love of working with students. Throughout the years, faculty and students have collaborated on many different projects. Students have helped Professor Jim Goodman make awardwinning films, they’ve created multimedia and health promotion campaigns with Professor Brad Lambert and myself, they've partnered with Professors Brian Heagney and Stefan Hall to develop a video game that was a top five finalist at the E3 competition, and, of course, they worked with Professor Vern Biaett to develop an Event Management program that was named the number one B.A. program in the country by the International Festivals and Events Association. With the academic experience in the classroom, the experiential opportunities available, and the university’s commitment to holistic, character-based learning, our students receive an education that is unsurpassed. Welcome to the Nido R. Qubein School of Communication, and please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely,

Dr. Virginia McDermott Dean, Nido R. Qubein School of Communication vmcdermo@highpoint.edu

During the annual trip to Los Angeles, students gained insights through access to private panels and tours of Google, YouTube, Hulu and Headquarters Post. This one-of-a-kind trip proved invaluable in getting students’ “feet in the door”— the HPU Communication Fellows became the very first group of students to ever be allowed into the Television Critics Association’s (TCA’s) NBC University Press Tour, where they were invited to sit in while executive producers and stars pitched their new and returning shows to the TCA, spotlighting FX’s 2018 fall line-up.
