journalism unveiled

Biola's journalism department recently departed from the communications and film department and formed it's own department. This is extremely exciting for the department because it means more growth! It has been great to be here the past four years and see the department really develop. When I entered Biola, there were probably 15 journalism majors. Now there are different emphases in visual, print, broadcast and public relations and now there are over 100 students in the major. We also went from one professor to four!

To celebrate the separation, the public relations students put on an event called Journalism Unveiled. It was a 1920s themed murder mystery dinner with characters from the journalism department and a script written by my good friend Kyle. The speaker was Michelle Burford, a Biola grad. who was one of the launching editors for O, Oprah's magazine. She was extremely inspiring. Here are a few photos from the night, courtesy of Ronalynn.

This is probably my favorite pic of the night. I love these girls! They have been such a blessing to know and work with at The Chimes.

The wonderful gift we were given: a reporter's notebook. How appropriate.

The table after the night was over.

The girls with Kyle, a lucky man.

Notice James' hat and Gail's gloves. Quite lovely.

Final pic of my favorite journalism girls (minus Michelle and Melissa). Ronalynn made it into this one.
