The CCIM Dean’s Collegian Advisory Council (DCAC) is composed of knowledgeable undergraduate and graduate students representing majors across the College of Communication, Information, and Media (CCIM). Serving as peer mentors and ambassadors for the college, council members work in partnership with the CCIM Dean to help students make the most of their CCIM experience.
Council members are charged with empowering student voices, sharing their stories, and serving as peer mentors who connect students to the support and resources necessary for success. Members of the CCIM Dean’s Collegian Advisory Council also act as liaisons and delegates for their specific areas of study or academic programs.
Whether you need advice, a quick pep talk, or tips on navigating campus resources, they’ve got you covered. Connect with our current members below.
