Communications Department Progresses With Appointment of a New Chair
Mr. DeWayne Wickham Begins Enters MSU With a New Vision
(Baltimore, MD)- This past July Mr. DeWayne Wickham was appointed Department Chair of Communications Studies. Coming to Morgan State with loads of experience in his back pocket, Wickham has started sowing seeds to turn his vision of a School of Communications into reality.
Starting his journalism career in 1973, Wickham has had many accomplishments and successes under his belt. In the last four decades he has worked for The (Baltimore) Sun, CBS News, US News & World Report, WBAL-TV, BET and USA Today, where he has been a syndicated columnist since 1985. On top of these extraordinary careers, he has authored four books and is former president and a founding member of the National Association of Black Journalists.
Before accepting his role at MSU Wickham served as a Eminent Visiting Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Scholar-in-Residence and Notable Professor of Journalism at Delaware State University and Distinguished Professor of Journalism and chair of the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication at North Carolina A&T State University.
Using all of his experiences, Wickham plans on altering MSU’s communications department for the better. “My focus as the new Communication Studies Department Chairman will be upon creating a School of Global Journalism and Communication at Morgan State University.”
With hope for the future DeWayne Wickham has started making strides to improve not just the Communications Department, but Morgan State University as a whole.
Morgan State University, founded in 1867, is a Carnegie classified doctoral research institution offering more than 60 academic programs leading to bachelor’s degrees as well as programs at the master’s and doctoral levels. As Maryland’s public urban university, Morgan serves a multi-ethnic and multi-racial student body and seeks to ensure that the doors of higher education are opened as wide as possible to as many as possible.
