Meet the faculty and staff of the Weber State University Department of Communication -- all thorough, professional communicators who know the importance of quality education and truly care about the development their students.

	Dr. Randolph J. Scott Department Chair, Associate professor Teaching and learning philosophy While it is necessary to teach and learn 'facts' about communication, my preference is to focus on theory and principles of communication, on making connections among ideas, and on critical thinking.	rjscott@weber.edu More about Randolph

	Allison Barlow Hess Instructor specialist Teaching and learning philosophy My personal goals in teaching include creating a safe environment where students can learn, question, practice and test their journalism skills, yet I want to set vigorous standards so they are also adequately prepared to work in the very demanding field of journalism.	ahess@weber.edu More about Allison
	Dr. Becky Johns Associate professor Philosophy of teaching I believe students learn best when they are given experiential experiences to connect to theory and principles. We all learn best by doing. I am dedicated to the success of my students. I like people and I very much enjoy teaching and the field of communication.	bjohns@weber.edu More about Becky
	Dr. Sheree Josephson Professor Philosophy of teaching and learning I try to stimulate my students in the classroom so that they want to learn more about the subject matter on their own outside of the classroom. I also believe that learning should be a lot of work, yet a lot of fun for students. During class time, I try to present challenging material in entertaining ways.	sjosephson@weber.edu More about Sheree Class Information and Assignment Page
