Students Present Strategic Campaigns
to Real-World Clients (Fall 2004)
To learn the real-world “art of the sell”
from start to finish, 76 journalism students in three Strategic
Campaigns classes spent the semester working on marketing
projects with Sprint, a multinational corporation; Kansas
Speedway, a regional business; and Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
For at least 50 years, the intensive course has been offered
each fall and spring semester. For students planning careers
in strategic communications, this academic drill is their
final course in an undergraduate degree program that prepares
them for careers in advertising, public relations, event planning,
and other business- and marketing-related fields. The campaign-plans
books students develop become important to portfolios for
future job interviews. More...
Brown v. Board of Education Class
Web Site (Fall 2003):
The year 2004 marked the 50th anniversary of the
monumental Brown v. Topeka Board of Education Supreme
Court case decision that led to nationwide school desegregation.
Associate Professor, and now Interim Dean, Ann Brill and her
Online Journalism students designed a dynamic Web site to
celebrate the anniversary. The case originated less than 30
miles from the KU campus, so it was fitting that the class
take an active role in the anniversary by creating an online
resource for Internet users. Students were responsible for
research and writing content and the architecture and design
of the Web site. Visit the site at www.ku.edu/~ojclass/brown.
William Allen White Web Site
Revamp (Fall 2002)
As a project for an online journalism course, students
redesigned the site's look, added content and created several
new additions to the site. One addition to the site is a section
of profiles of winners of the William Allen White Medal. Each
student wrote a short biography of an award winner. With help
from the White family and The Emporia Gazette, journalism
students also gathered letters and columns written by White
and took photos and video of his home in Emporia. An interview
with Christopher White Walker, the fourth generation of White's
family to publish the Gazette, reflects the commitment to
quality journalism passed along by William Allen White. That
commitment is reflected not only by members of White's family
and the foundation created in his honor, but the journalism
students who study at the school which bears his name. Visit
the site at www.journalism.ku.edu/school/waw/index.html.
