In what has turned out to be a delightfully varied communications career, Claudia Strong began as a newspaper journalist after earning a Bachelor of Science degree from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, then moved to the design side of the newsroom before eventually entering the freelance world. She’s now happily working at the corner of words and visuals at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, where she’s in her 14th year teaching various graphic design and writing courses to undergraduate, graduate and military students.
Originally from Chile and fluent in Spanish, Claudia embraces all sorts of adventures, most recently an intense five-week mountaineering program in the Austrian Alps, and a 10,000-mile road trip across Canada with her husband, their trusty Mazda 3 and a tent.
