Dr. Lucy Burgchardt teaches Communication and Culture (COMM 260), Communication, Politics, and Citizenship (COMM 230), Public Rhetoric (COMM 330), and Listening (COMM 203). She has worked with a student research assistant to develop a project about the National Park Service, and she has mentored several COMM majors as they've navigated their first academic conferences. Dr. Burgchardt really enjoys helping students get ready for graduate school.

Dr. Burgchardt received the 2019 Gerald R. Miller Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award for her dissertation, “Attitudes Toward Antiquities: Rhetorical Enchantments, Preservation Advocacy, and The American Southwest.”

When Dr. Burgchardt isn't teaching or working on research, she enjoys time at home with her husband, Paul, and their corgi, Tombo. She knows that her last name looks hard to pronounce (it's "burr-kart").
