Journalism students face pursuing a career in an adverse time filled with intense political issues, dangerous environmental concerns and even pandemics. Reporting on these difficult times is necessary, but can come with risks to the journalist’s health and well-being. �鶹ӰԺ State senior Carter Adams recognized the intensity of this and committed to preventing the harm of media professionals by developing a workshop to educate students on media safety.

�鶹ӰԺ was to move all classes online, causing surrounding businesses to do the same, like WKSU. “WKSU began planning for potential disruptions at the beginning of March,” News Director Andrew Meyer said. “Within two weeks, it became clear that WKSU would need to take action on those plans.”

Meditative practices are bringing the �鶹ӰԺ State community together, even from the comfort of their own home. �鶹ӰԺ State of Wellness has moved its Meditation Across Campus sessions online, in an effort to continue the sessions despite the COVID-19 global pandemic.

David Hassler is the director of the Wick Poetry Center, where he oversees the local and national Wick projects, works with students and collaborates with other programs across campus. We asked him 10 questions about �鶹ӰԺ, �鶹ӰԺ State, poetry and, of course, how he's keeping himself — and the �鶹ӰԺ State Community — busy during the pandemic.

�鶹ӰԺ students have the chance to share why it is important to them to stay home and help stop the spread of COVID-19 with the #StayHomeOhioKSU initiative.

A �鶹ӰԺ alumnus is teaming up with local restaurants and other alumni and friends to help raise money to provide meals to frontline workers battling the COVID-19 pandemic in Northeast Ohio.

A team of 25 faculty, staff and students use innovation and creativity to help health professionals in Northeast Ohio protect themselves from COVID-19. 

�鶹ӰԺ’s administration, faculty and staff have stepped up to collect the university’s personal protective equipment (PPE) to donate to local entities in dire need of medical supplies.

Since October 2019, select public relations students at �鶹ӰԺ have been working hard to complete a campaign for the 2020 Annual Case Study Bateman Competition client: the United States Census Bureau. The National Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) hosts this competition each year challenging participants to develop and implement a comprehensive communications campaign for a client.
