Award: Faculty Champion for community news

I'm honored and excited to have been named a Faculty Champion for 2025 by the Center for Community News at the University of Vermont. These awards recognize efforts in building partnerships between student media and the communities beyond their campus. This spring, I've launched new coursework at The University of Tulsa designed to do just that, and my challenge goals for the yearlong fellowship include plans to expand the local engagement of our young newsmakers with the city of Tulsa.

I'm eager to contribute to this new cohort, and the fellowship's funding will support news coverage at TU's Collegian newspaper and TUTV broadcast studio. Check back for updates!
