“Change is happening at an unprecedented pace, as technological progress (including digital transformation) and global political unrest make for a highly unpredictable world...[The skills needed to succeed] include collaboration, 沟通, 创造性思维, 职业道德, 团队合作, 网络, 决策, 积极性, 时间管理, 动机, 多功能性, 解决问题, 批判性思维, and conflict resolution.”
--Marc Zao-Sanders, “Important Skills to Develop for Success in 2020 & Glassdoor网站。”
在十大体育博彩正规平台, we take seriously this claim, committed now more than ever to helping our students develop skills that will serve them well in a world in which change is the only certainty.
In the Wittenberg Department of 沟通 & 数字媒体, that means we focus not only on skills that students need for success in their lives after Wittenberg, but on understanding the processes of 沟通 that vary according to situations. 毕竟, in today’s environment of erupting 沟通 technologies and increasing global interdependence, it is not enough to know the practice of good 沟通 without also understanding the theories that cross complicated situations. 在十大体育博彩正规平台, students gain an understanding of the complex processes of human symbolic interaction—with special emphasis on how 数字媒体 shapes our interactions.
