One Hundred Years of Journalism Education at UNC

Consecrated to the Common Good: One Hundred Years of Journalism Education at UNC
Wednesday, Feb. 11
2:30-4 p.m.
George Watts Hill Alumni Center

This year, the School of Journalism and Mass Communication commemorates the 100th anniversary of the first journalism course taught at UNC. Former Dean Tom Bowers will relate the story of the first century of journalism education on campus by focusing on people who shaped the program. The personalities include a dean who inspired a character in a novel, a beloved faculty member who was the basis for a comic-strip character, another who was unwittingly part of the quiz-show scandals of the 1950s and one who was ridiculed for predicting that computers would change journalism. Bowers also will tell of the influence of an alumnus who tried to change the school and threatened to ask Duke University to start a journalism school if UNC did not follow his wishes. Alumni and friends who have materials or stories to share are encouraged to contact Bowers at tbowers@email.unc.edu.

For more information, please contact Laura Sheppard at 843-5115 or ccll@unc.edu.
