J-School throwback

By Shannon Mullane (MJourā€™19)

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 decadesā€”inside 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 universityā€™s 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.

ā€œThese 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. ā€œTo hear stories from some of our past students about what the program meant to themā€”it just makes this celebration even more meaningful.ā€

Itā€™s 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°ł³Łā€™80), Jenny Herring (Jourā€™82) and Danielle Kreutter (“³“Ē³Ü°łā€™11).
