UC Communications Department Celebrates 50 Years

More than 150 people celebrated the University of Cincinnati’s Department of Communication’s 50th anniversary this past weekend with an event at the Cincinnati Zoo. Alumni, students, as well as current and former faculty members were on hand, along with Lucy the Bearcat, to mark the occasion.

The event was also an opportunity to honor the recently named ‘50 Communication Alumni Champions’ - individuals who have graduated with a bachelors or masters in communication who have gone on to achieve success in their careers, have made a big a difference in their local communities or have provided significant support to UC or the department. Honorees from around the country were in attendance, coming from as far away as Los Angeles, Washington, DC and Atlanta.

Zachary Jarrell came to the University of Cincinnati in 2019 to pursue a degree in statistics. In 2023, he graduated with a Bachelor’s in Journalism. For many undergraduates, the journey through college rarely takes the expected track. Detours happen, and majors change. When plans switch up, it can be helpful to a student’s success to find support. For Jarrell, it was the people he worked alongside in the journalism department who helped him on his journey. It has left a lasting impression on his life so far, guiding him to multiple internships as an undergraduate, real-world experience in prominent news outlets, and eventually a successful career in the highly competitive field of journalism.
