As a bridge between the academic and professional world, the Center for Journalism Integrity & Excellence brings the latest voices in journalism to campus to share insights from the industry. The center also honors two journalists each year for their contributions to the field.
Through these events and lectures, the center aims to provide students and professionals with relevant skills and insights to apply in their reporting.
