ALUMNI FEATURE📌
Meet Alumna Alex Yauch! 👩💻
“Don’t give up. It is really hard to be a recent graduate. Companies overlook you because you don’t have enough experience and they worry about how little you know about true processes in the workforce. I graduated with a mountain of student loans, and I felt so much pressure because suddenly I had bills coming from every direction. My pride got in the way a lot and I felt I deserved more than my experience allowed.”
“Once I let go of a bit of my pride, I realized that there is nothing wrong with taking a job at the bottom and working your way to your goal/dream job. Part of being young is building your resume and doing the grunt/hard work. That’s one of the best ways to learn and grow, not to mention appreciate where you’ve come from when you have “made it.”

Our Story
We meet the challenge of our constantly changing world with a diverse communication program that equips students for many kinds of careers and ministries. The need has never been greater for men and women who can communicate clearly and powerfully through the spoken word, the written word, and a vast array of electronic communication technologies.
We prepare effective communicators with courses and programs that combine the development of personal interests and abilities with practical and theoretical training.
Mission statement
The Communication Department at University of Northwestern – St. Paul exists to prepare students for leadership in ministries and careers in communication-related fields. The department will provide opportunities for students to gain theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience grounded on a Christ-centered worldview through classroom activities, internships, experiential education, service learning, and storytelling. By doing so, the department will produce graduates who are critical thinkers and effective communicators and whose foci are service, ethics, and excellence.
