LETTER TO THE EDITOR: I walked alongside 2 survivors through title 9 at UNL: It’s time we stop treating the Cornell 7 as an aberration

Stories Coming Left and Right
The Intro to Journalism students have been searching the school for stories to turn into news briefs. These short stories provide important information and share updates that may be useful in the near future. Sophomore Grace Goodrich said the news briefs are important because they “inform the students about information around the school.” A part of this project was to pay more attention to the things around the school. This project also gives new journalists the opportunity to improve their reporting and writing skills. It also allows them to use their creativity by writing something of their own, while still getting information out there. The journalism students interviewed peers and teachers about what is happening around the school. They found information that they may not have known about, like upcoming fundraisers and how some organizations came to the school.
