Welcome to the Edna Anderson-Taylor
Communication Institute
What We Do
The Edna Anderson-Taylor Communication Institute, housed in the Department of Communication at the University of Utah, serves as a crossroads to bring together scholars, practitioners, and students from across campus, our local community, and well beyond. Together, we think about the role that communication plays in some of society’s most pressing problems—and how we can best work to address them.
