The Communications Fellows program includes experiences designed to take students off campus and provides them with hands-on exposure to their chosen industries. Each Fellow also receives a $1,000 study abroad grant to be used for an approved off-campus experience.

During Winter Term of their first year, Fellows majoring in Communications have the opportunity to take The Fellows Experience, a special course that offers an inside look at the media and communications industries in Central Florida. Past experiences have included visits to Disney Live Entertainment, NBC affiliate WESH, Tampa Bay Times, Vū Technologies, Diamond View and the Poynter Institute, where students worked with renowned writing coach Roy Peter Clark.

As a Communications Fellow at Elon University, the opportunities that the program provides for real-world experiences and hands-on learning always astound me.
