Author and Jet Magazine editor Mitzi Miller spoke to students at the Newhouse School of Public Communication on Thursday. She discussed how she stewards one of the most recognized black media brands, and keeps it relevant. Miller began her journalism career as an unpaid intern at Honey Magazine.
March is Women’s History Month and we are glad The Newhouse School, under the leadership of Lorraine Branham, continues to invite seasoned publishing professionals to campus. Below Jet Magazine’s Mitzi Miller talks about her start in journalism.
Duke & The Cuse: Synergy
Monday, February 3rd, 2014After a great weekend of sports, particularly for Syracuse, we forget that before there was a rivalry between SU & Duke, there was collaboration. Coach Boeheim successfully worked with Coach K during the Olympics, and ESPN commentators such as Jay Bilas (Duke grad) worked with SU grads.
Bilas, speaking here during a forum at SU’s Newhouse School, takes time to indirectly show some love to SU’s journalism program.

M.I.N.D. Lab: Shaping a new perception of reality in Downtown Syracuse.
Here are some photos from last night’s open house for the Newhouse School’s M.I.N.D. Lab, which is located in the AXA Towers (ground floor). Special shout out to Danushka Bandara, grad student and science guy, who demystified the workings and practical applications for many of the center’s devices. Would love to see someone from this group do a TEDx series or similar symposium.
Danushka Bandara sits at the fNIRS device, which measures blood flow in the brain.

Ben Green leads SU alumni in a discussion about networking
Coming Back Together X (Ten) featured a forum on social networking featuring various communications professionals. The panel was moderated by Ben Green, SU ’85 and dedicated to the memory of Lee Keitt ’76.
The discussion focused on mentoring, generosity, improvements in delivery systems and social media limitations (not 100% marketing, not 100% personal).
