attn: #WeAreCOSJ crew

Proud day for COSJatSC today as five of our star journalists, Danny Priest, Joe Arruda, Irene Rotondo, Jack Margaros, and Kris Rhim scored "Mark of Excellence" awards from the Society of Professional Journalists. Excellence Springfield Student -- it's a way of life.

At the conclusion of the semester, Professor of Communications, Laura Dubowski, will be enjoying her retirement. In her years at Springfield she has used her experience in the field to help develop young journalists. 📝 Collin Atwood (Collin Atwood) buff.ly/3gA5Kzo

So thankful for everything she taught me during my 4 years on Alden Street. Certainly wouldn’t be where I am today without her knowledge and guidance. Congrats on your retirement Laura, you deserve it!

Very thankful for the memories with Laura in the James Bond room, and all she’s done for me and others in COSJatSC. Here’s to a happy retirement 🍾 🎉 🎊

I would have never made it to where I am in SCTV3 and as a journalist without Laura’s guidance and encouragement. Congratulations on your retirement, Laura! COSJatSC will miss you.

I will never forget the insane amount of jokes Laura and I shared in her classes. Happy retirement!

Beyond thankful for what Laura has taught me in my first 2 years at Springfield. I didn't except to be as invested in TV as I am, and Laura had a lot to do with that. Have a happy retirement!

Honored to be hosting JRSportBrief on our Springfield College campus today, chatting with the remarkable COSJatSC students—spreading his message, and moving the needle in remarkable and important ways. Welcome to Alden Street, JR.

Here's some more images from JRSportBrief's visit with our COSJatSC #WeAreCOSJ family Monday--a day that concluded with a live broadcast of his national CBS Sports Radio show from our WSCB, Birthplace Audio Studios.

So honored to have been asked to introduce Céline Gounder, MD, ScM, FIDSA 🇺🇦! Thank you to Lit, Writing, and Journalism for the opportunity and to Dr. Gounder for the amazing conversations.

Gonna be the one to say it — #WeAreCOSJ COSJatSC strikes again! Springfield College 🔻

The tradition returns!!! My COSJatSC #SportsBroadcasting class resumed its tradition of full-scale broadcasts today. Garrett Cote @jacsaintj and David Kilburn were elite on the call for a true corn-hole classic. Teaching and learning. Believe the hype.

#WeAreCOSJ So proud to call COSJatSC my family. These are special journalists, and I’m so lucky to have a small role in their development.

Shout out to the hardest-working college media crew around. COSJatSC students returned to campus a week early to cover the Hoophall Classic and produce several dozen stories across platforms, including a special issue of Springfield Student. And they’re not done yet! #proudadvisor

Man. Kris Rhim keeps waving the COSJatSC flag higher and harder than any of us alums before him. Big time congrats to him! Springfield in the Old Gray Lady. Not bad at all!
