It was 2007. We were still on the Tempe campus and held most sessions in a University Club conference room. It's difficult to believe this is my eighth year with the program.
How things have changed since our University Club days. Social media and video, almost absent from the 2007 program, are essential elements today. Our Facebook group explodes with ideas, welcome laughs and signs that relationships formed here continue long after. Best of all, we work in this state-of-the-art building. One thing that hasn't changed is Alan Weintraut's essential role here. At top right you can see him at work in 2007.
I savor these two weeks immersing myself in journalism with people so committed to their students. I'm learning right along with you.
Welcome. I'm glad you're here and hope you enjoy this program as much as we enjoy putting it on.
