Some @CCSUJournalism and SPJ students had the opportunity to go the Walter Cronkite Freedom of Information Award honoring @JudyWoodruff! We are so happy to have gotten this wonderful experience📝💙

[Madeline Wilson @wilsonmadeline_]

Honored to ask @JudyWoodruff questions about how polarized today’s political climate is. Journalism students got plenty of time to ask for advice and insight from tonight’s @ctfog honoree at the Mark Twain House in Hartford.
