Communication Services & Media Design

Here are just a few of the things our department is responsible for:

“The Educator”

“The Educator” is a joint partnership between South Suburban College and Governors State University that increases the educational opportunities both are able to supply. By merging program schedules and efforts, we are able to provide a richer learning experience to residents in over fifty municipalities.
