That's back-to-back years with an @mujschool grad/former @CoMoSports reporter receiving this honor, as Colton joins 2023 winner @tashanreed. No doubt Terez would've loved what both of them are doing in the business. We couldn't be prouder here at #Mizzou.

I changed the major assignment in my community news class, and I’m reading the final assignments now and I’m thrilled with the way they turned out. And the cool thing is they will hopefully make it out into the universe through some industry publications.

This is a unique role, and I find it can be helpful for to chat about it before applying. This has no bearing on the application process but can help you know what to expect. You can schedule on my Calendly if you're interested: calendly.com/stephensec/chat… /end

Captured some of what we saw in visits and heard from speakers in my first community news class. Excited to have more students this semester and looking forward to the projects they are working on.
