Lovejoy Journalist-in-Residence Program

This three-year program, made possible by a grant from the Knight Foundation, will bring journalists to campus to give public lectures and speak in classes. They will meet with students and aspiring journalists to explore and develop the themes raised by that year's winner of Colby's Lovejoy Award for courageous journalism.
