Summary: As the world becomes more polarized and complex, and demand continues to rise for skilled communicators who can manage crises in business, academia and the non-profit sector, the University of Georgia is expanding its innovative program to educate and prepare students for crisis communication careers by combining the knowledge and insights of leading academics and experienced practitioners from around the world. Building on more than five years of success – including groundbreaking academic research, an annual Crisis Communication Think Tank with ongoing thought leadership development programming, and the placement of graduates at leading firms and universities – UGA is taking steps to expand this program to include graduate education and executive training. The stated goal: make the University of Georgia the “go-to place for the study of crises.”
