Faculty & Staff
Loyola's Communication Department is an actively engaged group that focuses on excellence in teaching and work outside the classroom. The curriculum prepares students to be communication experts for their professional career after Loyola and as lifelong learners.
Faculty members encourage students to become involved in the program beyond the classroom experience through engagement in co-curricular activities including GreyComm Studios, The Greyhound and WLOY. The faculty also assists upperclassmen in obtaining internships for credit throughout the year. The hope is that all students will want to become involved in department activities and contribute to an engaging academic environment and the Baltimore community.

Research:
Dr. Rui Wang (Ph.D., University at Buffalo) studies emerging technologies, social media, and political communication. Combining novel computational methods with quantitative approaches, her research focuses on three core areas: (1) the content, users, and effects of digital and news media in the context of identity politics and polarization; (2) the social and psychological dimensions of emerging technologies, particularly public understanding and acceptance of AI; and (3) the development and application of computational methods for social science research. Her work has appeared in journals such as Communication Research, New Media & Society, Information, Communication & Society, Social Media + Society, Journalism, Social Science Computer Review, and the International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction.
