Why did you choose to pursue a WVU Marketing Communications graduate degree?
Meet Jacqueline Leeker, Deputy Director, Public Affairs for the U.S. Forces Korea.
She’s currently located in Pyeongtaek, South Korea and will be starting the
M.S. Integrated Marketing Communications program in the
DINFOS cohort this Spring semester!
As someone who has been in the public affairs and crisis communication field going
on 14 years, I was really struggling to find a program that was flexible to my
schedule. I work a lot more than 40 hours a week, and am on call nights and weekends.
Being in South Korea, makes it difficult to participate in classes as most occur
in the middle of the night. West Virginia University has a great relationship with
the Department of Defense and specifically Defense Information School. WVU's program
accepted professional military communication training towards the degree, and have
been incredibly supportive of the additional demands and need for a flexible work
schedule.
I am really passionate about leadership and mentorship. People are influential leaders
at every level. Working for the Department of Defense, one of the largest employers
in the world, can often feel bureaucratic and complex.
