The Dean's Common Ground Society at the University of Miami School of Communication is dedicated to supporting the principles that are at the heart of the School of Communication-the freedoms of belief, assembly, speech and the press. Symbolized by the School's central Courtyard, the "Common Ground" is a lively arena demanding the participation of a wide range of individuals from within and outside the School. The Dean's Common Ground Society is a vehicle through which School of Communication supporters can engage with the School and each other through the shared goal of providing the best education possible for our students.

We cordially invite you to join us as we unite alumni, parents, foundations and corporations in one effort to connect with the School of Communication and further the ideals of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The Dean's Common Ground Society offers several choices of annual memberships. All students, alumni and friends of the School are considered Members for life.

Those who wish to support the students by becoming Donor Members will be recognized in our
bi-annual publication, Communiqué, and on our website. In addition, participants will receive email notices from the School about visitors, workshops and events, as well as benefit from discount ticket prices for films shown in the Bill Cosford Cinema.

Those who become members at the Patron level or above will receive other privileges and benefits as
the School of Communication is able to offer them.
