It’s Official: Dr. Joshua Mims

Some two dozen SC State communication students received their hard earned diplomas during last night’s commencement at Oliver Dawson Stadium.

Meantime, this morning in Virginia Beach, Va. one of our faculty had his own years of hard work and research culminate in the highest level of academic achievement.

Mr. Joshua Mims is now Dr. Joshua Mims after being awarded his doctorate in critical communication and journalism from Regent University.

The Union, S.C. native also holds degrees from North Greenville University (BA in video and radio broadcasting) and Regent University (MFA film and television directing).

Congratulations Dr. Mims, an accomplished scholar. A true gentleman and a scholar. That’s him. That’s Mims!
