As the fall semester unfolds, the Missouri School of Journalism is buzzing with activity. From the electric atmosphere surrounding Mizzou football to our students diving into Missouri Method training, the campus is alive with purpose. This month we celebrated 116 years of the J-School as part of our annual Founder's Day celebration. We also highlighted the achievements of several industry leaders at our Honor Medal ceremony, setting a dynamic tone for the months ahead. Read on to learn more about our fall semester highlights.
