Grady students, faculty and guests are invited to gather for a banquet and ceremony honoring this year’s group of Cox Poynter Leaders.

The Cox Institute and the Poynter Institute’s News University have partnered to offer top Grady journalism students the opportunity to earn a Media Leadership Certificate during the Spring semester.

Participants, selected competitively, are immersed in an eight-week hybrid training experience that combines the best of online education with facilitated leadership development workshops.  The program is designed to prepare students for leadership roles in a “digital first” era influenced by social media and an explosion in mobile platforms.

Keith Herndon, visiting professor, leads the leadership workshops and coordinates the program.
