BarMUN III SG Nominations and a Field Trip

This week, we are shaking things up with something different. Come join us for an exciting (and free!) event at the Howard Gotlieb Center for Reporting History, a part of the Student Discovery Series. Thomas Fiedler, the Dean of the College of Communication, and Alex Rankin, the Assistant Director of the HGARC will both speak – check out more on their poster!

“Journalists have long shaped our collective understanding of history, our perceptions of the past, and interpretations of the present. Investigate the investigators; hold and read original documents, notebooks and photographs from such celebrated journalists as Dan Rather, David Halberstam and Oriana Fallaci. Join us at Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center for an evening of journalistic revelation.

Investigate the fine line between truth and fabrication in the shaping of a US president. Discover the motivations behind interviews of the most important people of the 20th century. Unearth the countless historical accounts left untold.”

Gain a greater understanding of how journalists influence the world around us through a look at documents which are now part of history themselves. This unique perspective will allow you to see the world from the perpective of such acclaimed journalists is not something to be missed!

The event will be held in the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center, located on the 5th floor South of Mugar Memorial Library from 7 to 8:15 on Wednesday 14 October.
