What is HTC anyway, and why are we doing it?

As you may have noticed on the J-school’s front page (see section Scripps News) our HTC freshwoman Taylor Mirfendereski has produced a fabulous video report for CNN on the Honors Tutorial College (HTC).

It can be viewed here:

The piece gives a good overview of this amazing academic opportunity, but it also shows that not everybody may enjoy the challenge and self-motivated learning style that HTC students are expected to bring to the table.

Part of the HTC experience is a stronger focus on the scholarly side of your education. It culminates in an honor’s thesis, written during the senior year. Another part is the ongoing dialogue among students and among students and professors.

Talking about dialogue -- if you’re in the HTC journalism program, don’t forget that we will have our quarterly HTC Journalism meeting on Nov. 6, from 5:00 to 6:30 P.M. in Baker Center 237.

We’ll have pizza and soft drinks, and talk about thesis plans and related issues. Our current seniors will give you a quick rundown of their thesis projects.

We will also watch/discuss some videos on covering the environment and how to make the invisible visible.
