Extra curricular activities are a major part of a college life and students in the Department of Communication are as active as those on any campus.

Among our disciplines, Pitt State offers students the opportunity to join several organizations with regional or national affiliation. Active students reap a number of benefits including comradery of like-minded individuals; trips to regional and national conferences or conventions, which often feature some of the nation's top professionals in the disciplines; and the opportunity to enter their work in regional and national competitions for awards or scholarships.
