J-School throwback
By Shannon Mullane (MJourā19)
In celebration of 100 years of journalism education, CMCI and the Department of Journalism invited alumni to share memories of their own experiences at CU Boulder.
The result: slices of life as student journalists across decadesāinside jokes and reporting adventures included.
On April 21, 1922, the University of Colorado Board of Regents voted to form the Department of Journalism and created the universityās first four-year journalism degree program. A century later (to the day), the college and the journalism department launched a yearlong celebration featuring campus events, alumni stories, social media campaigns, multimedia projects and magazine features in CMCI Now.
āThese stories just clearly highlight the amazing work, now in the past, from our students, faculty and staff,ā said Pat Ferrucci, interim chair of the journalism department. āTo hear stories from some of our past students about what the program meant to themāit just makes this celebration even more meaningful.ā
Itās our pleasure to share a selection of these alumni stories in this edition of CMCI Now. Read on to hear from Timothy Coy (“”»å±¹±š°ł³Łā80), Jenny Herring (Jourā82) and Danielle Kreutter (“³“Ē³Ü°łā11).
