Anna Deeb, Ph.D.

Dr. Anna Deeb is a student for life who is deeply committed to empowering her students to communicate with confidence. Her second passion is shedding light on civil rights speakers and exploring how past strategies for social change can be brought to bear on modern struggles for equity and inclusion. Finally, Dr. Deeb believes that ensuring equity in the classroom and beyond is our most important challenge in higher education today. These three passions guide her work as a professor and researcher.

When she is not busy trying to change the world one public speaking student at a time, she is soaking up time with her husband, two sons, and miniature schnauzer Monty. She has degrees in communication studies from the University of Georgia (Ph.D.), Colorado State University (M.A.), and Loyola Marymount University (B.A.). She loves getting to know her students as a communication professor and faculty advisor for the Lambda Pi Eta Communication Honor Society. Go Golden Tigers!
