What happens when your freshman year of college everything shuts down for a pandemic and your a Photojournalism Major? Learn to adapt. Our graduating senior class had to learn how to engage with people when the world says to distance. When events on campus don’t resume until your junior year in college. You learn invaluable skills in an always changing world. (Example electric at our senior picnic shelter would never turn on during a rainstorm)
Students in the photojournalism sequence spend the last semester of their major working on a individual or small-team 16-week long projects. The results of their efforts can be viewed at this site:
