鈥淲hen I was an undergrad, I hated research,鈥 said the 24-year-old who graduated in 2022 with a Master of Science in Communication Disorders. 鈥淚 told myself that I would never want to do research, but once I came to Stockton that changed.鈥

鈥淐ommunities everywhere need journalism to thrive,鈥 said Press of Atlantic City Executive Editor Buzz Keough. 鈥淟ocal stories and local reporting are what makes a community stronger in many ways. Journalists serve as watchdogs and community storytellers. They help foster civic involvement.鈥
