Murrow Students at Graduation
Students stand alongside research and project presentation posters at an academic showcase. In the foreground, three students in professional attire discuss a poster presentation, with one student wearing a conference name badge and gesturing while speaking. Additional students and attendees are visible in the background, viewing displays and engaging in conversations throughout the bright event space. Rows of poster boards featuring text, images and research findings line the room, highlighting student scholarship and professional communication skills.
A group of approximately 15 students wearing matching Edward R. Murrow College of Communication T-shirts pose for a photo inside a media production or classroom space. The students stand in two rows in front of a concrete wall and double doors, with acoustic wall panels visible on the left. A large award plaque rests against the wall on the right side of the room. Tables, chairs and classroom equipment are visible in the background under bright overhead lighting.
Several students wearing headsets work together in a television production control room. Multiple computer monitors, a video switcher and production equipment fill the workspace. One student stands behind the control stations pointing toward a monitor while others operate controls and review screens. Papers, a keyboard and other production materials are spread across the desks. The room is dimly lit, with the monitor glow illuminating the production team as they collaborate on a live broadcast or video production.
Students gather around computer workstations in a media or classroom lab. Several people are seated at desks with monitors and laptops, while a faculty member, Tony Thompson, leans toward the group during a discussion. A laptop covered with stickers is visible on the table, and a can of sparkling water sits nearby. The classroom features large interior windows and sound-dampening wall panels.

Murrow Symposium

Murrow Symposium gives students the opportunity to gain insights from seasoned communication professionals and for professionals to share their expertise with the next generation.  Each year, the Murrow College hosts the Murrow Symposium, a Washington State University signature event, as we welcome back alums, communication professionals, and members of the Murrow Professional Advisory Board to discuss relevant and timely communication topics. Murrow College faculty recognizes a journalist or other communication professional whose body of work reflects the ideals, ethics, and values of Edward R. Murrow, Washington State University’s most illustrious alumnus, by presenting them with the Murrow Lifetime Achievement Award.
