Wichita State University has named Deanna Harms the board chairperson for its Elliott School of Communication Advisory Board.
Harms, the executive vice president at Greteman Group, will serve a three-year term.
The Elliott school board is comprised of 20 area leaders in media and communications fields. They provide counsel to the director of the school on matters related to industry trends, employment needs and academic-professional partnerships.
WSU says Harms is a long-time advocate of its Elliott school and students.
An alumna, she served on WSU’s board of student publications and was named the Elliott School’s 1992 overall outstanding graduate. Harms started a student chapter of Women in Communication and became its first president. She served as the student representative and worked with Vernon Keel, founding director of the Elliott School, in his efforts to work with the Kansas Board of Regents to approve a new comprehensive communication degree consolidating former programs in journalism, speech and radio-TV-film.
Harms is a frequent guest lecturer.
