Clarence W. McCord Scholarship

The Clarence W. McCord Scholarship was established in 2003 by the Department of Communication Arts in honor of Dr. McCord’s years of service and dedicated leadership in the Department of Communication Arts at Georgia Southern. The scholarship may be offered to students who are pursuing any degree in the Communication Arts department.

The Department of Communication Arts, the largest department in the College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences, provides a forum through which students can develop life skills such as confidence in oral and written presentations, communication skills, and critical analysis and problem solving skills. Students in the Department represent a broad spectrum of majors, interests, and career possibilities in Communication Arts, Communication Studies, Multimedia Film & Production, Multimedia Journalism, Public Relations, and Theatre. They work together and with faculty on research projects, state-of-the-art productions, events, online news outlets, and broadcasts.
