Professional Partnerships

American Forum The School of Communication collaborates with WAMU, American University’s public radio station, to produce The American Forum, one-hour panels that bring together AU students with politicians, lobbyists, journalists and communication strategists to talk about media and public affairs.

Washington Post Semester Consortium Students are chosen in a competitive process each spring to spend a semester learning about the newspaper industry from the inside out as part of the Washington Post Semester Consortium, a weekly one-credit hour class at the paper’s downtown office. SOC also works closely with The Washington Post to bring editors and reporters to campus as part of a regular speakers’ series.

Named Fellowships SOC graduate students may apply for a number of named fellowships.
