Hi everyone! I’m Dean Mundy, and I’m an associate professor in the SOJC’s public relations major. Originally from North Carolina (Go Heels!), my husband and I moved here in 2014 (time flies). My research is twofold. I broadly look at how organizations convey values related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in their strategic communication practices (and yes, the current environment is, for lack of a better word, “fascinating” to study.) More specifically, I have looked at best practices regarding how LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations use strategic communication to forward their campaigns for equality. Prior to entering academia, I worked in the corporate world for about a decade, mostly for the Coca-Cola company, but also for Accenture Consulting and the now-defunct Nortel Networks.

 More importantly, this is a recent picture of me eating fried pickles in Bend, Oregon. Fried pickles are important.

Hello! My name is Paige, outside of Chicago, IL and my favorite thing to do at home is spend time on the lake! Some things I enjoy include crafting, hiking, baking, and skiing. This past year on campus I was involved in elevation ski club, fraternity and sorority life, and a few other clubs. I am super excited to build a great FIG community this upcoming fall! The Building Character FIG is all about creating personas and exploring each of them in depth. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions I am here to support you in your transition to college!
