"SEMO is one of the best. You learn a lot! Dr. Buck is very hands-on. She teaches you from real life experience and she stays up to date on her knowledge, and I think that's important. You're not just learning from a book about what happened ages ago, you're learning in real time exactly what we can do to change the face of journalism."
Toslin Taylor, Mass Media Alumna
