Professor of Communication Studies Dr. Jessica Henry has been at Hastings College since 1999. During her time at HC, Dr. Henry has been lucky enough to have the chance to teach a number of different courses, including her favorites…Intercultural Communication, Persuasion, and Advanced Public Address.
Dr. Henry’s students know that they will be challenged in her classes, but they will definitely learn a lot. One comment, typical of her students, was that “Jessica’s class was a lot of work and I struggled at times but I am so proud of my final project. It was all worth it!”
In addition to teaching her classes, Dr. Henry provides her students with exciting opportunities outside of the classroom. For example, Dr. Henry has led two travel abroad classes, one to Southeast Asia and another to Peru. Closer to home, Dr. Henry has worked more intensely with students on individual research projects that are often accepted for presentation at national conferences.
Dr. Henry definitely keeps busy on campus, serving as the sponsor of Alpha Chi (the student all-discipline academic honor society).
In her free time, Dr. Henry likes to take photos, go antiquing, and spend time with her two daughters (who are also college students!).
