By Kyla Wright This weekend, I had the distinct pleasure and opportunity to visit my hometown – Detroit. Though I did see family, this was a business trip. I attended the Forbes Under 30 Summit as an Under 30 Scholar. The Forbes Under 30 Scholars Program isn’t the well-known annual 30 Under 30 List, even …
What if I told you that there was a place at Newhouse that could make your dreams come true? A place that gave every inch of its being to lend a helping hand and push students to their heighest ceilings? I’m not sure anyone would know. Tucked into the corner of Newhouse 3, where the …
The Newhouse School hosted three benchmark trips for public relations students during the spring semester. The opportunity was open to both undergraduate seniors and graduate students and offered in three different cities.
