Jessica Retis, Ph.D.

I’m wrapping up my term as Director of the University of Arizona School of Journalism. Grateful for all we’ve built: a more inclusive, digital, and globally engaged journalism school. Next up: a sabbatical to conduct research on population movements & news media across continents and languages

It was great to engaging with undergraduate and graduate students as well as researchers and community members to discuss the findings of my ongoing research. Thanks, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona for the invitation. Looking forward to future collaborations

Just gonna keep sharing this. Some of the smartest and kindest humans I know. And if you’re in this space please ask to be added. I may need to make a Part II pack at this rate because I’m running out of slots. 😅

In 2022, I had the honor of being appointed Director of the School of Journalism at the University of Arizona. I’m proud to be the first Latina to lead this prestigious school in its 70+ year history, and one of the few to hold a leadership role in a journalism school across the U.S. Let's connect!
