JDM welcomes new majors at AU Orientation Days

What an exciting time of the year for the Journalism and Digital Media department. In May, we successfully saw our seniors graduate and move into their first professional jobs. In a very busy June, there were two high school campus tour open houses and five AU Orientation Days for incoming First-Year students. During the Orientation Days, the JDM department hosted fifteen incoming Digital Media Journalism and Digital Media Production majors. Cannot wait until August!

The Collegian earns First Place award from ASPA

It was a fruitful year for the student journalists in the Journalism and Digital Media department. In March, AU-Live.com won a First Place award from the Ohio News Media Association in the Best Multimedia Package category. Not to be outdone, The Collegian just received a First Place award from the American Scholastic Press Association in the Best College and University Newspapers large school division. ASPA operates a yearly national competition for both collegiate and scholastic media publications. The ASPA focuses on selecting and highlighting the stellar work of both journalism students and media departments. Special thanks go out to Ted Daniels, The Collegian faculty advisor, and Gracie Wilson, The Collegian managing editor, along with the dedicated group of editors and reporters who work tirelessly on these publications.
