Message from
J. David Johnson, Dean
This 2007-2008 academic
year overview celebrates many
of the accomplishments of our students,
faculty and staff. It has been an exciting
year for the College. Our undergraduate
students continue to receive acknowledgment for their leadership roles on
campus, their classroom and research
achievements, and their creative endeavors. Our faculty continues to be recognized regionally, nationally and internationally for their publications, scholarly
research and community service. Our
staff is actively involved in being the link
between our students, faculty and the
university through advising and service
on university committees. Our college
endowments continue to grow both in
number and size providing much needed
scholarships for our students.
We have 1,297 undergraduate pre-majors
and majors. The Graduate Program in
the School of Library and Information
Science now totals 187 students. Our
master’s and Ph.D. programs in
Communication have 62 students. This
year, the college will graduate ten percent
of all University of Kentucky undergraduates. Our undergraduate student body has
nearly doubled in the last decade.
Undergraduate students in our fourdegree programs (Communication,
Integrated Strategic Communication
(formerly Advertising), Journalism,
and Telecommunications) acquire a
liberal arts education that extends
beyond preparing students for an
information-centered, service-oriented
society. Students take the opportunity to
conduct research; to publish; to serve in
internship programs locally, regionally
and nationally; and to develop skills in
digital photography, broadcasting,
podcasting and Web design.
CCIS is proud of our award-winning
advising staff led by our Director of
Undergraduate Services, Cathy Hunt.
Hunt, along with Ashley Clark and our
1
College Ambassadors, work with over 600
students each year. Our unit advisors also
play a major advising role with students.
We are widely perceived to be one of the
most student-centered colleges at UK.
annual college awards and recognition dinner to honor our students,
faculty, alumni and friends.
Information on recent award recipients is included in this publication.
Our student ambassador program is
another point of pride for the college.
Each year, through a very competitive
process, we select three undergraduate
students who serve as college ambassadors. This past year the ambassadors were
Julie Earnest, (JAT/ISC), Lexington; Sara
Henderson, (JAT/JOU), West Liberty and
Sarah Roark, (COM), Franklin, Wis. The
ambassadors participate in student advising and represent the college at preview
nights across the Commonwealth.
The ambassadors also lead COMMunity,
a service group that gives back to
Lexington. The group’s goal is to unite
people from all of the majors within the
college and organize service activities.
Much of what we have accomplished
would not be possible without the
continued support of our alumni and
friends. I am pleased to announce
that the college has reached our $1.6
million dollar goal for the University’s
Capital Campaign. But we continue to
work hard to increase the number
and amount of scholarships available
to our students. Your gifts are vital to
our success and we always want you
to know how much your continued
support means to all of us.
At the graduate level we offer our master’s
and doctoral student’s opportunities to
undertake important research programs
that contribute to the advancement of
the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the
United States and countries throughout
the world. The Graduate Program in
Communication offers emphases in
interpersonal, health, and mass
communication and our graduate
library program provides the only
accredited graduate program in
library and information science in
the Commonwealth. The Library
School graduates more than 80
percent of all school, public,
academic and special librarians
employed in the Commonwealth.
We continually seek new approaches for
involving alumni with our students as
lecturers in the classroom and through
their participation in special programs.
Alumni provide our students with internships and participate in the review of
student portfolios. Alumni are encouraged to attend and participate in any college events. Each fall we also hold our
I hope that through this publication
you will learn more about the college
and its programs and share in the
pride I feel for the college and what
we have accomplished. It was impossible for us to list all of our accomplishments in this publication, so I
invite you to visit our Web page.
When I travel, I enjoy meeting with
alumni and would love to expand
these opportunities. If you can meet
with me or host a function in your
area, please contact my office at
859-257-7805 or by e-mail at
[email protected].
Again, we appreciate your support
and involvement in the College
of Communications and
Information Studies.
Best wishes,

Phonathon broke past
records for number of pledges
made and gifts received. We
received 934 pledges and
$41,865.27. This is a 7.15
percent increase over last
year and is the largest
amount in the college’s 16year phoning history. Again,
we thank you for your continued support of our students and programs. We hope
that you will continue to say
“yes” to the student callers
and help us to continue to
expand our scholarship
opportunities and activities.

Our College
Grants Officer
When it comes to obtaining
extramural funding, an integral member of our team is
our College Grants Officer,
Gina Vessels. As CGO, Gina
assists faculty and staff with
pre-award and post-award
grant activities. Services
include helping researchers
find appropriate funding
opportunities for their projects, drafting budgets and
preparing grant applications
and internal forms in compliance with both sponsor
and university policies, assisting with account ledger
review and resolution of
account issues that may arise
during the project, and coordinating with all departments
on campus that are vital to a
grant’s success, including
but not limited to the Office
of Sponsored Projects
Administration, Sponsored
Projects Accounting, and
the Office of Research
Integrity. Prior to joining the
University of Kentucky, Gina
wrote and managed grant
programs for community
non-profit organizations and
was a project manager for a
large national association,
allowing her the benefit of
seeing all aspects of grants
and project implementation
from beginning to end. This
experience gives her a unique
perspective as she helps
faculty and staff navigate
the requirements for obtaining and managing grants at
the university.

The Graduate Program in
Communication
only doctoral communication program currently
available in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The
M.A. program was approved in the fall of 1966 and
the first degree was conferred in 1967. To date, 310
Master of Arts degrees in communication have
been awarded. The Ph.D. program (in the restructured College of Communications) was approved
in December 1977 but it wasn’t until 1980 that the
first students were admitted and 1983 before the
first degree was awarded. To date, 141 doctoral
degrees in communication have been awarded!
The graduate program approaches the study of
communication as a social science with an
emphasis on both theory construction and
empirical research methods in order to generate new knowledge about communication as a
core process. As such, our strategic planning
efforts include several important features
involving faculty recruitment, curriculum
renovation, and increased interaction with
our alumni.

Department of
Communication
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees for
undergraduate communication majors and teaches
most of the graduate courses leading to a Master’s or
Doctoral degree in communication through the College’s
Graduate Program in Communication. We have experienced considerable growth over the past year. Last fall,
we obtained four new faculty lines and this year, we
obtained one new faculty line. Including replacements
for faculty who have retired, that translates into eight
new people on our faculty in two years. The number of
undergraduate pre-majors and majors continues to
increase, as well. We now serve nearly 500 students in
our program. Although funding through the National
Institutes of Health and other agencies has been severely curtained in recent years, we continue to bring in a
significant amount of grant dollars to the University. Our
portfolio now includes funding from not only the
National Institutes of Health, but the Department of
Homeland Security. Almost all of this research is
focused on the health communication area, an area in
which we ranked 6th in the nation in a recent poll by the
National Communication Association.

of our most ‘tried and true,’ people in
large part responsible for building the
enviable reputation the department currently enjoys. At the same time, new faculty positions allocated to us by our

College
History
In 1993, the UK Board of Trustees approved
the merger of the College of Communications
with the College of Library and Information
Science to form the new College of
Communications and Information Studies.
The new college included the Department of
Communication, the School of Journalism and
Telecommunications, the School of Library
and Information Science and the Graduate
Program in Communication.
We offer bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral
degrees designed to provide our students with
the knowledge and skills to become communication professionals in the 21st century.
Our mission is to teach
students how to create,
produce and disseminate
effective communication
messages; how to obtain, assess
and verify information; and how
they can make strategic use of
information. We strive to create an
environment in which teaching
and learning complement discovery and research.
The College welcomes your help in keeping our
alumni files current. We want to hear news of your
accomplishments, personal news and your pictures.
We also welcome any comments you have about this
