In 2024, in order to increase awareness of equity and diversity issues, the College of Information and Communications launched the first Women’s Leadership Week.
The week featured diverse speakers and panelists such as School of Journalism and Mass Communications alumnae Adrienne Fairwell, the first Black President and CEO of South Carolina Educational Television (SCETV), and Ainsely Earhardt, co-host of FOX & Friends since 2016.
The Women’s Leadership Week explores gender and equity issues in the media and builds awareness of career opportunities in the field.
