Congratulations to our latest cohort of the the Community Journalism "J Lab" Program who earned their certificates last night! They presented their final projects, articles covering everything from new warehouses, to free preschool, to vision care for underserved children. This was an amazing, diverse, hard-working group who were the epitome of dedication to their communities.

Also sending a big thanks to my TA's Drew Mumich and Julia Meriney who assisted me from start to finish and made the program a success. And to our VOICE Managing Editor Valerie Mulrine without whom none of the articles would have made it online!
