We want to thank Ryan Cheek for over 10 years of service as a faculty member in Weber State's Department of Communication. Ryan was initially hired as the Assistant Director of Forensics and coached the debate team to many years of success. Most recently, he taught full-time in various courses including Communication Theory and Communication Law. Ryan earned his Ph.D. from Utah State University in Technical Communication & Rhetoric in Spring 2022 and accepted a tenure-track position at Missouri University of Science and Technology. Best of luck, Ryan!
Cami Saban will also be leaving us to work in public relations for Brigham City. Cami taught this past year in our general education courses like Interpersonal & Small Group Communication and Principles of Public Speaking. We wish Cami the best!
