The award recognizes graduate faculty who have made significant contributions to graduate education at Rutgers University.
The Master of Communication and Media (MCM) program, based at the Rutgers School of Communication and Information (SC&I) in New Brunswick, New Jersey, reached new milestones in 2020, despite the challenging conditions facing academia. Through active recruitment, positive word of mouth, and a concentrated effort by the program and the marketing and communications and the student services teams, enrollment figures are at an 15-year high: MCM has 217 active students enrolled for the fall 2020 semester.
In “Organizing Inclusion,” a new book edited by Professor Marya Doerfel and former SC&I faculty member Jennifer Gibbs, the authors “challenge all of us to rethink our own role in perpetuating racist systems and how we can change that with both individual-level and structural changes.”
“The degree is one thing, but it’s what you take away from the program that truly matters,” says Kayla Jennings-Rivera, MCM ’20. Read more about how the MCM program shaped her path.
SC&I Communication (COM) and Journalism and Media Studies (JMS) majors can apply for the MCM program in their junior or senior year as part of the Dual Degree BA/MCM program option.
In our Q&A with Master of Communication and Media Program Director Richard Dool, he describes the many ways the MCM program has adapted to best serve, teach, mentor and inspire its students during COVID-19, and discusses the program’s new specialization and degree.

The new specialization, launching in spring 2020, will help prepare SC&I’s Master of Communication and Media students for careers in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), sustainability, organizational purpose, and more.
By researching and analyzing the leadership insights and practices of proven global leaders such as Nelson Mandela, Indra Nooyi, Abraham Lincoln, Jack Ma, Golda Meir, Bill Gates, and Sara Blakely to name a few; Dool aims to provide readers with insights to enhance their leadership skills.
