The University of Iowa journalism program has surpassed the century mark.
The UI’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication was founded 100 years ago in 1924, opening the door for thousands of high-profile journalists. The school has helped grow the industry along with the aid of the 155-year-old independent student newspaper, The Daily Iowan.
The journalism school will commemorate the historic anniversary with a celebratory dinner on Saturday, April 13, highlighted by speeches from a number of well-respected professionals.
Chicago Sun-Times reporter and columnist Maudlyne Ihejirika, a journalism school alumna, will be the featured guest speaker along with University of Iowa president Barbara Wilson, dean Sara Sanders, and professional advisory board member Mark Mathis.
