The Consortium for Strategic Communication (CSC) is an initiative of the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication at Arizona State University.  This strategic initiative promotes advanced research, teaching and public discussions of the role of communication in combating terrorism, promoting national security, and successfully engaging in public diplomacy worldwide and is composed of an interdisciplinary group of scholars at ASU and partner institutions.

Our initiative was launched during the spring of 2005 with a public lecture series that brought recognized experts and distinguished spokespersons to ASU Tempe campus drawn from government, military, academic and first-responder communities.

During the fall semester of 200,5 we expanded the initiative by creating a Consortium for Strategic Communication working group. Current partners include the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Drawing upon a diverse set of quantitative, qualitative and rhetorical approaches, our members are currently pursuing several research areas.
