Director's Note | September 2022

As I watch the calendar turn to September, I鈥檓 finding it hard to believe that the Fall 2022 semester marks the start of my third year at 天天吃瓜. For the last two years, much of what we鈥檝e been doing at the School of Media and Journalism could be described as moving from one urgent issue to another. Speaking with colleagues in higher education around the country, I hear the same thing. There鈥檚 been little time to focus on anything more than just the day to day. To wit: Masks or no masks? Remote or in person? Events or no events? Regular seating or limited seating? Refreshments or no refreshments? The list goes on. And on. And on. Every little thing that used to be just part of the fabric of planning for a semester was held up for examination, debate and painfully slow decision making. Until now
