Visiting speakers
_Students in communication and rhetorical studies make many important connections throughout their time at the College of Visual and Performing Arts and Syracuse University.
These connections are not just with faculty and students. CRS alumni are leaders in various fields, including television, public relations, politics, and law, and these alumni regularly return to campus to meet with current students. The department hosts alumni panels, and students regularly contact alumni in particular career fields for advice and insights.
The department also sponsors or co-sponsors two to three visiting lecturers each academic year. Visitors range from such high-profile filmmakers as Spike Lee and Keith Beauchamp to renowned scholars from other universities.
