I write on this blog often about the importance of news literacy – being able to detect misinformation and bias in the news coverage you consume.

As the Fall semester concludes and the holidays are soon upon us, there is no better time than now to reach out to students, faculty, staff, alumni, community members, stakeholders and our Public Affairs Community to wish you all a most sincere “Season’s Greetings” from the Office of the Dean.
