Thanks to the generous gift of Howard R. Marsh, the Department of Communication Studies is home to the Howard R. Marsh Visiting Professor of Journalism. Each year, the Department hires a mid-career journalist or an academic who studies journalism to fill this endowed chair. The Marsh Professor teaches two classes based on his or her particular expertise in both the fall and winter semesters.
In addition to teaching courses, the Marsh Professor also gives a public talk in the spring. What follows is a collection of the Marsh Lectures starting in 2007.
