PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Building off of a strong debut, the American Digital Network (ADN) today announced its Campus Connect correspondents for the 2017-18 year.
Once again, the initiative will provide aspiring journalists the opportunity to gain professional experience telling the unique stories of the American Athletic Conference’s 13 member institutions. The journalists were chosen from a competitive field of applicants and will begin contributing stories across the ADN’s platforms this fall.
The Campus Connect program debuted in 2016-17, with students submitting 103 features across the year. Those pieces generated over 480,000 views across The American’s digital platforms and were also utilized on local, regional and national broadcasts.
