Advertising and public relations students in Elizabeth Oppe’s fall 2023 capstone
course crafted campaigns for three different nonprofit organizations: Get Moving!,
GATC Health and the NorthHills Association. The course operates like a firm where
students have direct contact with clients and produce tangible results and deliverables
on a deadline.
“The students established relationships and were committed to their clients,” said
Oppe, a teaching professor in the Reed College of Media. “This happens organically
when the students have a genuine interest and passion in helping the community
and their client. Each team went above and beyond to meet their client's needs
and expectations, with an ever evolving and changing set of circumstances. It is
a truly rich learning experience.”
West Virginia University

Merchandising; and Interior Architecture – will be called the College of Creative
Arts and Media, effective July 1, 2024.
Additionally, the Reed College of Media will become the Reed School of Media and
Communications, one of four schools in the new college along with the schools of
Art and Design, Music, and Theater and Dance.
