Today we're highlighting one more Fall course offering that you should check out: Dr. Brown's HNUH278O: Covering Social Justice as a Student Journalist.

Offered Wednesday afternoons from 3-5:30pm in Knight Hall, you do not have to be a journalism major to get something out of this course. As witnesses of the world around you, students will study how reporters cover injustice and protest movements, unearthing the ethics of what we consume in media. Offered as part of the Change the Narrative Cluster, this is the final year to take this course-- so don't miss your chance!
