CANYON, Texas—The West Texas A&M University Department of Communication has named Assistant Professor Noah Franken as the new director of the department’s master’s program. 

Franken has taught communication courses in the Sybil B. Harrington College of Fine Arts and Humanities since 2014. 

“I’ve always been energized by teaching and working with graduate students, and this position gives me the opportunity to focus more on helping graduate students develop,” Franken said. 

Franken teaches classes in communication theory, research methods, and interpersonal communication.

“I am lucky in that I took over a program that already has a lot of momentum,” Franken said. “The program has been growing and more of our students are producing research that is being presented at academic conferences. I would like to continue that momentum.”
