Department of Communication Arts
David Perryman Ph.D.: It's nice if candidates know how to use the latest communication technologies, tools, and platforms (e.g., social media, Adobe Creative Suite, project management apps). And they need to be able to communicate verbally/interact with others in a credible, authentic, and professional manner. But I value real-world experience just as much, if not more. Have they managed and completed substantive projects on their own? Have they worked directly with clients (internal or external) to understand and meet their needs?
David Perryman Ph.D.: I value the following hard skills:
-Reading: Ability to read complex material, identify key concepts/most important facts, discern the bottom line.
-Research: Ability to sift through myriad traditional and digital sources of information, discern fact/credible sources from fiction/unreliable sources, and extract information that is most pertinent to the project they're working on.
-Writing: Ability to write clearly, actively, and concisely while adhering to the basics of grammar and style (e.g., AP Style).
