Join Our Community

Guided by LMU’s mission, the CMST community strives to cultivate communication leaders and professionals—forged through academic excellence and an education of the heart, mind, and spirit—united in their global imagining of a just, equitable, and inclusive future.

Indeed, a tall order, but we are a unique community. Comprised of outstanding learners and alumni, talented and dedicated teacher/scholars, and staff committed to supporting our collective growth, we are a community fully engaged in the work of the present while also striving for a better future.
