Judy C. Pearson, professor of communication and associate dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, will be inducted into the Central States Communication Association Hall of Fame at the association’s meeting in April.

To be inducted into the Hall of Fame, a member of the association must achieve the highest level of service to the organization. Pearson served the 13-state association as its president and went on to become president of the National Communication Association and president of the World Communication Association. She joins the Hall of Fame with three others, including David Zarefski, former dean at Northwestern University, and a visiting professor in the Department of Communication’s Senior Scholar program in the summer.
