Department of Communication Advisory Council Elects New Members

The College of Charleston Department of Communication Advisory Council recently participated in a series of on-campus events at the College that collectively reached more than 600 Communication majors and other students. The Council meets on campus twice a year and Council members also serve as mentors for Communication majors. During the two-day visit, Council members lectured in 17 classes, conducted two student roundtables on career choices and led a student forum focusing on the communication lessons learned from the recent Presidential election. During the visit, the Council also elected three new members. The newly-elected Council members are:

With a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from Mississippi State University, a Master of Business Administration from George Washington University and more than 20 years experience in the financial industry, Campbell successfully negotiated and integrated the merger between Chernoff/Silver and Newman Saylor & Gregory, two of the largest integrated communications agencies in South Carolina, as well as the later acquisition of ASA in Charleston, S.C. In addition to Campbell’s wealth of experience in marketing and advertising, he also lends his financial services expertise to clients in the form of strategic consulting.
