Blurb About Comm Department & Dr. Larry Coleman

Dr. Coleman along with the other Professors in the Communication department at Wingate University make up a great team and I love them all! They are great resources and the best at what they do all having their own special skills. If you want to be a communication major Wingate has the best teachers to fulfill that want. They offer many different classes for fields such as Journalism and Public Relations. I really enjoy this major and think I chose the right place to take up an education in this field at Wingate. Here is a little blurb about Dr. Coleman

Mr. Larry Coleman has been teaching at Wingate University since 1988 and this year will make his 25th year! Before coming to Wingate, Mr. Coleman attended Southeastern Bible College in Birmingham, Alabama receiving at Bachelor of Arts in Christian Education. He received his masters in theater arts at University of Montevallo. For 8 & ½ years Mr. Coleman was the director of the Batte Center and until 3 years ago he was the Director of Theater but now his position is Assistant Professor of Communications.

Mr. Coleman says he always knew he wanted to teach and that his students are his favorite part of the university he explains that “I have teachers heart and that’s why I am here!” He also says “I learn something new from my student’s everyday” and that’s what he loves most about working a Wingate.

He values a Wingate education because we are so small and there is opportunity to get to know your students more than just their name. Students and faculty get a chance to have a one-on-one relationship with each other.

Coleman’s advice to students is “always be your-self.” Fun facts about Mr. Coleman he’s from Springfield, Tennessee, he’s the last of six children and Dr. G. Byrns Coleman is his brother! He also loves to watercolor and knit!

I have enjoyed him as a professor and I will recommend anyone to take any of his classes whether if it’s required or just for fun. If you just need anyone to talk to in general he’s the perfect person. You will learn lots of great information and life skills.
