What Students Are Saying
Courses I Teach: Personal Branding, Public Speaking, Communication in Organizations, Communicating in Crisis, and Media Studies.
Professor Hume Johnson, you could make me nervous but in the best way possible. Your class was one of the most interesting in my life, and your teaching style made it easy to remember the information. Making us do group work was effective and prepares us for our jobs in the future. You were a good mix of being light and funny but also vocal when we could improve. I learned a lot.
Kate
Introduction to the Mass Media
Professor Hume Johnson has been my best professor at RWU. She made public speaking interesting to learn. She created a positive atmosphere; the class was a tight knit community. She pushed me out of my comfort zone and I rose to the challenge. Everyone should take at least one class with Dr. Johnson during their time at RWU.
Aidan
Introduction to Public Speaking
Your courses taught me how to prepare and execute effective speeches, create an appealing presentation, and to define my personal brand. Enrolling in your Introduction to Mass Media helped me outgrow my shyness! I enjoyed finishing my college career taking your Communicating in Crisis course and found the curriculum incredibly helpful and important.

"I had my interview today, and I can’t thank you enough! Your advice about outlining specific examples rocked, and truly transformed my preparation. It gave me the confidence to clearly articulate my experiences and showcase my strengths. I felt more empowered, organized and in control, which made all the difference in how I presented myself. Thank you for your guidance!"
"Dr. Johnson, I had to share my joy with you. Remember I told you that I've never been successful in an interview in my current position, as I would get nervous sweaty palms and stutter a lot. So, I went to two interviews and I was successful at both. It is now up to me to choose the one I want to work for. Just wanted to say a big thank you for helping me discover myself, re-brand my image and convey my value."
