The Multiplatform Magazine Reporting class, taught by Professor Bill Moushey, M.S., produced The Mad Decade 2020 Magazine in the midst of the global pandemic.
"The effort made by a small group of students to produce a quality digital magazine during a pandemic is extraordinary. I frankly didn't think they could pull it off. They overcame everything and produced exceptional journalism. It will be something I (and they) will never forget. I'm very proud of them," said Moushey.
