Faculty retreat

We had a terrific day-long retreat on Wednesday, August 23 at the Benegl Wildlife Center. Several of our Professional Advisory Council members attended. We are getting ready for reaccreditation by the Accrediting Council of Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (ACEJMC), but I'll tell you more about that process later. Just know, it's important to the J-School and a focus of much of our work for the coming year.

At the retreat, we really came up with some exciting ideas about the future of journalism and how we need to address those changes to keep our students on the cutting edge.

I hope you'll join me in a similar discussion at the Journalism Student Advisory Council (JSAC) that will be having it's first meeting 5-6 p.m., Wednesday, September 6, 2006, in 147 CAS.
