If you’ve noticed some new faces across campus, they’re likely one of the university’s six new faculty members. The group joined the Canisius community at the start of the fall semester and now that they’re acclimated to campus, we thought it an apt time to introduce each of them, individually, in upcoming issues of The Dome.
Today, we say “welcome” to: Maura Snyder, PhD / Assistant Professor, Communications
Dr. Snyder is a communication scholar who studies the ins and outs of audience-media interaction, examining how people communicate with others about media, as well as how media impact unique audiences. A Pittsburgh, PA native, Dr. Snyder completed her PhD in Communication Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is excited to return to the northeast. Dr. Snyder is passionate about teaching students about the nuances and applications of communication research. When not on campus, Dr. Snyder can be found hiking and exploring dog parks with her pup, Winnie, and watching every single Food Network baking competition.
