It was delightful to see so many familiar faces at the grand opening of our newly remodeled Carole Jackson Moreno Resource Center last Thursday! We're so grateful to Carole and her family for their generous gift to the School. Without them, this remodel would not have been possible. Stop by the new and improved Resource Center if you haven't already.

Jayhawk Academic Advising: Do you know your academic advisor’s name, role, and how to connect with them?

The Kansas Press Association published findings from Professor of the Practice Stephen Wolgast on how sports journalists in Kansas decide who reads their articles. The interviews were conducted while Jack Denegeim was a multi-media journalism student. Jack graduated in December 2023 and is now the sports editor at the Sedalia (Mo.) Democrat. The white paper is titled “The Imagined Audience in Kansas: Journalists Describe Readers of Education Beat Reporting, With Additional Descriptions from Sports Beat Reporters.”
Government officials and nonprofit leaders from the Philippines visited the Center for Digital Inclusion in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications in summer 2024 to learn about the Center’s media literacy and digital skills program for justice-impacted communities in Kansas and Missouri. The Philippine delegation’s visit (pictured below) was part of the International Visitor Leadership program organized by the U.S. Department of State.
