Shewmaker Communication Center is a technologically advanced building that serves as the home of Drury University's Communication Department. Majors within the department include advertising, integrated media, public relations, and speech communication.
Shewmaker Communication Center was built in 1989 after a lead gift from Jack Shewmaker in memory of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Shewmaker.
In addition to housing classrooms and faculty offices, Shewmaker also provides a number of hands-on learning centers for communication students. Drury's television programming is written, filmed, edited, produced, and broadcast by Drury students from the television studios inside Shewmaker. DUTV and DU Uncut, the major programs produced at Drury, are broadcast through local & cable programming in the Springfield area.
The university's student-run radio station, KDRU, is also broadcast from the radio studio in Shewmaker, as is The Mirror, Drury's student newspaper. Shewmaker is also home to the Speech Communication Center, which is a resource available to all students interesting in improving their public speaking skills.
The Center is located on the corner of Central Avenue and Drury Lane.
