Building on a 149-year-old tradition of innovation and excellence, the

Kansas State University seeks a future-focused director who values
excellence in teaching, research, and creative production. The director
will provide visionary leadership for faculty, staff, and students as

communication landscape with cross-disciplinary, relevant, and
high-quality research and education.
Working collaboratively with the School’s faculty and staff and with
other college leaders, the Director will oversee the school’s degree and

and retaining students. Key responsibilities include fundraising,
external communications, evaluating faculty and assigning merit,

Why Join Us:
The School is the product of recently combined faculties of journalism
and mass communication and communication studies, and the reorganized
faculty holds a collective sense of untapped potential and a drive for
innovation.
The School has launched nearly a dozen new degree programs,
microcredentials, certificates, and courses. The School faculty also
boasts a strong sense of shared purpose in Kansas State’s land-grant
mission as expressed in the university’s Next-Gen Land Grant strategic
plan, including a passion for inclusion and access and offering
exceptional education and research for its increasingly diverse student
population. The School encourages public-facing and community-engaged
scholarship and explicitly rewards it via tenure and promotion.
Two national centers housed in the School—the Huck Boyd National Center
for Community Media and the Institute for Civic Discourse and
Democracy—promote interdisciplinary and publicly engaged scholarship
that serve the needs of Kansas and the world. Additionally, the
Journalism Education Association national headquarters is housed at the
School on the Manhattan campus.
Through its endowed scholarships, the School awards more than $250,000
annually to attract and retain its growing student body. Experiential
learning opportunities include nationally awarded, multi-platform
student media (including the 91.9 KSDB-FM radio station, the KKSU
television station, the Collegian daily newspaper, and the Royal Purple
yearbook); a dynamic PRSSA chapter; and nationally competitive
intercollegiate debate and forensics teams.
The School offers B.A. and B.S. degrees in advertising and public
relations, communication studies, digital innovation in media, and news
and sports media. It also offers master’s degrees in communication and
an interdisciplinary doctoral program in leadership communication. The
faculty has expertise in health and risk communications, rural
communications networks, media law, political communication, data
analytics, media economics, emerging media, media criticism,
organizational communication, and more.
The A.Q. Miller School is fully accredited by the Accrediting Council on
Education in Journalism and Mass Communications
