Meet some of our Successful UToledo Communication Alumni

In today’s information economy, communication is key. 77% of employers look for communication skills on a college student’s resume[1]. Organizations need employees who can efficiently, effectively and creatively connect with colleagues and the wider public. There is no career you can have where communication skills won’t serve you well.

Billionaire Warren Buffet believes that “The one easy way to become worth 50% more than you are now-at least- is to hone your communication skills.”[2]

Honing your communication skills is exactly what we do in the Communication Department. See below to check out some of the ways that UToledo graduates have put their Communication degree to work. You’ll see that a Communication Degree at UToledo gives you many options in today’s marketplace.
