Department of Media, Culture, and Communication

Alumni - Media, Culture, and Communication

The Department of Media, Culture, and Communication is committed to the advancement of its alumni. We encourage alumni to maintain connections with each other and the department through MCC's LinkedIn profile, lectures, and networking events. Many return to serve as mentors or guest lecturers, and often provide internship and career opportunities for current students.

While some of our alumni have reached the pinnacle of their craft or profession, many are just beginning their careers. They work in television, political communication, marketing, public relations, advertising, publishing, film and digital media. Others are faculty at leading universities or consult and conduct research for the public and private sectors. All are a part of the legacy of New York University and the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication. 

Share Your Experience and Stay Connected

Remember when you were a student, and were looking for guidance from those in the field? Now is your chance to serve as a mentor for future MCC alums. Each year our department hosts the Student/Alumni Career Roundtable. Let us know if you'd like to share your expertise and career tips with our students by emailing mcc.events@nyu.edu. Please take a moment to update your information so we can send you occasional announcements such as job postings and event invitations.
