Professor Joshua Mims is an instructor for the recently formed Communication Majors in the Department of English and Modern Languages, here at South Carolina State University.

He teaches both basic and advanced video production for broadcasting and journalism majors. Though this his second semester teaching at STATE this is his fourth year as a professor.

Hailing from Union, South Carolina, Mims received Bachelor's degrees in communications and theater not far from home at North Greenville University.  He then went on to receive his Master of Fine Arts degree from Regents University.

Before becoming a professor he worked as a film editor, producer, writer, director, and actor with such companies as Coastal Training of Virginia Beach, VA and Action Video of Greenville, SC.
