Welcome to the Edna Anderson-Taylor
Communication Institute

The Board of Trustees permanently established the Communication Institute in 1997. In 2022, in recognition of Edna Anderson-Taylor, a trailblazer in Utah broadcasting and alumna of the University of Utah, the Institute was renamed the Edna Anderson-Taylor Communication Institute. The Institute is now a vibrant channel through which scholarship, teaching, and service are shared across campus, our local community, and well beyond.

 

The Institute offers state-of-the-art workshops, lectures, and symposia focusing on a wide range of communication and journalism practices, in domains such as culture, technology, health, science, and politics. Each year, the Institute hosts a series of campus and public events focusing on issues of public concern, as well as fellowships and awards that support groundbreaking communication research.
