Communication, Community, and Public Advocacy Certificate
The Communication, Community, and Public Advocacy certificate emphasizes experiential learning in small classes to help students become pragmatic and creative public advocates and engaged community members. Through the certificate courses, students develop the critical competencies necessary to be a reflexive advocate who can adapt to changing contexts and cultures and across diverse communities. This certificate aligns with UNI’s commitment to civic engagement. It centers the role communication can play in creating social change and how people can use their skills as advocates in a variety of community, political, and organizational settings.
