She has served on editorial boards and review committees for leading academic journals and has been recognized with multiple teaching and research awards, including the Best Annenberg Professor honor and the PRSA’s “Best of Public Relations Journal” award. Campbell earned her Ph.D. in public relations and media studies from the University of Texas at Austin, her M.A. in organizational communication from Southern Illinois University and her B.S. in communication management from Missouri State University. She is a 2020 Fulbright U.S. International Education Administrators awardee and a graduate of the HERS Leadership Institute for Women in Higher Education.
