Jason Michael Foster
  • B.A. Communication 1996

  • My education in Communication has led me far. I am a Naval Aviator and have in the service for over ten years. I have traveled to more than 25 countries and have found it easier to communicate than my contemporaries, even with language barriers. Interpersonal communication is the key to this ability. I feel that my degree has given me the foundation for all that I do. I want to thank Dr. Fitch-Hauser and Dr. Sutton for your leadership and inspiration (and letters of recommendation). I currently live in Hawaii with my wife, Heather and son, Christopher. It is hard to stay in touch with the University with all of the moving that the Navy requires; so it is nice to see this site. If you are ever in Hawaii, look me up.
