JSU Accreditation Visit
The accreditation team from ACEJMC arrived in Alabama on February 3rd and and spent three days on the JSU campus, Monday February 4th through Wednesday February 6th, reviewing the Communication department. According to Dr. William A. Meehan, President, Jacksonville State University:

"The advantages gained for all communication students, including radio,
print and web, are immense, as each concentration has a working
application: The Chanticleer, the student-run campus newspaper, The
Mimosa, the student-made yearbook, WLJS 91.9 FM, the JSU radio station
with student-operated shows, and TV24.
The Department of Communication has recently passed the first step in a
three-step accreditation process. Thus far, three members of the
Accreditation Council of Education have recommended the department for
full accreditation. There are more than a dozen communication
departments in the state, and the department at JSU looks to become the
third accredited."
