Journalism, Media, and other important topics
I thoroughly enjoyed our senior capstone. I believe that you did a good job with the brand new syllabus. I think focusing on a creative project that all of us can contribute to was a genius idea. As a chronic procrastinator (as you by now well know), I wish we had sooner and more urgent …

I did not know what to expect when I signed up for a class called social media. I had heard good things about the class, but I did not know what to expect. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the class and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to take it. Before taking the class, …
I was planning on doing an intent dive into cancel culture, and whether it truly exists in the way it was talked about, but I was quickly distracted by the story of Aaron Calvin.
