Initiatives
Project Citizen
Project Citizen brings students from the West Coast and Midwest together in journalistic projects and personal conversations. The project is the brainchild of Carol Costello and Amy Reynolds, dean of the College of Communication and Information at Kent State University in Ohio. LMU's student media Director Tom Nelson and communication studies Professor Chris Finlay have joined Carol as strategic advisors and partners in guiding the project, which, thanks to private donors, will continue to expand its offerings and educate more students.
