"The IE School of Communication initiative is one of the boldest and most ambitious efforts to rethink communication in a fundamentally changed international context, with rampant developments in technology and industrial structure.  I am pleased to be part of this effort and to acknowledge the creative leadership of Dean Martin-Barbero".

"I am so honoured to be invited to be part of the new IE School of Communication -- it represents an exciting initiative in a field that is central to life in the 21st century.  I wish the dean and all at the school well, and look forward to joining you in the months to come".

"I should like to extend my very best wishes to this new IE School of Communication.  I know the care and thought that has gone in to all the planning that has led up to this successful launch and I am sure that your programme will soon be one of the leaders in media teaching and research, not only in Spain but internationally".

"This is an exciting initiative from one of Europe's most innovative educational institutions. Successful communication is increasingly what separates great organizations and businesses from good ones. This vision of communication is outlined at IE School of Communication in degree programmes that will equip students with professional skills and the latest academic insights to allow them to make a real impact on graduation".

"Media transcends borders. IE School of Communication has a strong track record for doing the same in the field of business, so it is gratifying that it is now bringing that same global vision to communications education".

"IE School of communication , offers an impressive program that combines   three key elements . (1) It directly confronts   the realities of a global world ,   . (2) It  is not only contemporary ,  but  aggressively turned towards  new formats, new tools, new technologies . (  (3)  It  remains  firmly anchored  in  a number of  classical disciplines -history , social psychology, sociology,   law,  visual studies , to mention only a few. Served by an extremely  pragmatic approach  and by  a  systematic choice of transparency  this program offers  a remarkable  synthesis  of  many leading programs around the world".

"IE Shool of Communication is an exciting development.  With Dean Martin-Barbero at the helm, I expect it to push the boundaries of education and scholarship in the field".

"IE School of Communication is launching at a time when digital media and communication networks are reshaping the way people interact, work, and play. I believe the School is well poised to help its students understand these changes and make the most of the opportunities they will create".

"IE School of Communication is one of the great international schools of our time. That IE has expanded into Communication is just another sign of university's commitment to excellence and its responsiveness to the challenges that globalization brings".

"Dean Martín-Barbero has put forward a challenging agenda for communications education in the 21st century. I am very happy to be associated with the IE School of Communication".

"To my way of thinking, and from my own experience both as a senior manager and more recently as an educator, communication in all its forms is at the heart of almost everything that works effectively (or does not - as the case may be !) in and between organisations. Getting communication right is one of the fundamental keys to success in almost every sphere of management.  In today's globalised world there is the added challenge in communicating effectively on an international scale. IE School of Communication new initiative has great potential to help to enhance communication and as such I am very pleased to have been asked to be associated with it".

"Dean Martín-Barbero has created an exemplary curriculum for tomorrow's communicators, and journalists in which he brings together information technology, entrepreneurship, and professional crafts in a unique manner. I am honored to participate in this exciting venture that follows well IE's beautiful track record".

"Communication is central to so many aspects of business and commerce, and increasingly so in a digital age. I look forward to bringing the insights and experiences of a working business journalist to this exciting new IE School of Communication".

"At a time when technology is causing dramatic social change, IE is building a faculty and knowledge base that is focused on the tools and research that provides a guide to this period of transformation.  Few schools have shown this vision and leadership in recognizing and highlighting the importance of information technology in changing the social working of institutions and enterprises".

"The web 2.0 is all about communication and sharing information. Having an institution like the IE dedicating resources and efforts to focus on this is a very strategic move. I am delighted to be part of this selected group of professionals and I am looking forward to contributing the education of the bright communicators that the 21st century our society needs".
