Dean's Student Council

Ben Jarvis, President
Junior
EM&C

It was during my time in high school when I found my passion for video, web design and everything related to digital media. When it was time to choose my major, electronic media and communications was the only degree that spoke to me.

Zachary Haber, Vice President
Senior
Public Relations

I currently serve as the Recruitment Chairman of the Sigma Nu Fraternity, an Associate Justice of the Texas Tech Student Government Association Supreme Court, and, of course, the Vice-President of the CoMC’s Dean’s Council. I am also an active member of Tech PR and Colleges Against Cancer.

Jamie Mathis, Secretary
Junior
Advertising

I believe communication is key to how our world operates, so as a member and officer of the Dean’s Council, I hope to communicate how important careers in Media & Communication are. Whether it is in Advertising or Journalism, I think all Mass Communication majors contribute an important part in the development and future of our world. Without these people our world would be nowhere near what it is today. I wish to see others realize this, and my goal is to make the Dean's Council a profound leader in this cause.
