Great story from @alejandro_rfig about meeting Sam Jones in Glouster for a @scrippsjschool capstone class story. It’s ok to get lost and ask for directions at the gas station. You’ll never know the stories you’ll find.

Hey @scrippsjschool students! Both @alejandro_rfig and @liamniemeyer say take advantage of office hours to find mentors for your career. I agree! And attend the last session of the #ewscrippscentennnial if you can.

A gem of advice for journalists from @realBobWoodward @ohiou : “Let the silence suck out the truth.” Great event and great questions by @scrippsjschool professor @oneturner

Another observation: “The goal of the president should be creating the next stage of good for the majority of people on the country untethered from politics. Where is the national interest?”

Thanks so much to @KyleNagelDDN for visiting @ohiou @scrippsjschool and encouraging students to have a plan, take risks, ask questions, and try something you might not feel qualified to do. He's telling @3morgananderson how to be a student and cover sports at the same time.

How do you tell a numbers-based story in audio? Use a choir. @ZivaBranstetter explains @reveal “soundified” an investigation into the racial makeup of 200 Silicon Valley companies. 73% of executives were white, 21% Asian, 3% Latinx, and just 1.3% black. @scrippsjschool #j2230

Thanks to @Renitaski for connecting virtually with #ouj2230 today. I strongly endorse her (paraphrased) advice: "Podcasting is hard, but trust your instinct as a storyteller. Listen to your gut. All that sets you apart is YOU." @scrippsjschool

#scrippskids @scrippsjschool Consider these Spring '22 classes as you register. We NEED these to fill. Don't worry there's no instructor assigned. We had such a great response to our call for adjuncts, we know we'll find some great ones!

“Don’t worry so much about interviewing the movers and shakers. Focus instead on the. Iced and shaken or those who don’t have a voice.” @JohnQABC shares advice he received from Peter Jennings with @scrippsjschool students at @ohiou Carr Van Anda symposium.

It was a great talk. He seems like such a warm and genuine person. Oh, and the quote should be “moved and shaken”. I swear I proofed it three times!

It’s heartening to see a former #oulc1900 student and a student I got to know well last year as he was considering @scrippsjschool doing great work. Keep it up!
