As students of the UO School of Journalism and Communication, we pride ourselves on the level of preparedness our professors and peers have instilled in us, and these skills give us the confidence we need to go out and launch our careers after graduation. No matter what area of study our emphasis is in — journalism, public relations, advertising or media studies — we all are here to learn how to take our storytelling to the next level.
