In celebration of 100 years of journalism education, CMCI and the Department of Journalism invited alumni to share memories of their own experiences at CU Boulder.
The result: slices of life as student journalists across decades—inside jokes and reporting adventures included.
On April 21, 1922, the University of Colorado Board of Regents voted to form the Department of Journalism and created the university’s first four-year journalism degree program. A century later (to the day), the college and the journalism department launched a yearlong celebration featuring campus events, alumni stories, social media campaigns, multimedia projects and magazine features in CMCI Now.
“These stories just clearly highlight the amazing work, now in the past, from our students, faculty and staff,” said Pat Ferrucci, interim chair of the journalism department. “To hear stories from some of our past students about what the program meant to them—it just makes this celebration even more meaningful.”
It’s our pleasure to share a selection of these alumni stories in this edition of CMCI Now. Read on to hear from Timothy Coy (屹’80), Jenny Herring (Jour’82) and Danielle Kreutter (dzܰ’11).
