Students at the School of Communications (TSU)
As the world continues to grow and display vast technological change, Texas Southern University adapts and prepares its students for the inevitable. The School of Communication has a history of which many people are unaware. In fact, TSU developed the very first public School of Communication in Houston in hopes of bridging the gap of communication and technology in the Black community.
Influential TSU figures, like Dr. Clarice Lowe felt the need to create such a school to help Black students advance in journalism, speech communication, theatre-cinema, communicative disorders, telecommunications and technology.
