\u201cWe wanted to evolve the lecture series to expand its impact directly with students,\u201d said White. \u201cThrough mentorship and guidance, students will engage in a 360-degree experience that goes beyond the surface level and will truly influence them as they enter the workforce after graduation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith this gift, 溏心vlog免费B站 will elevate its profile as a destination for informative discussions regarding journalism and the First Amendment,\u201d said Jen Riley, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. \u201cThe professional expertise that the Taricani Visiting Journalist Fund brings to campus will be key to developing the next generation of journalists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is also chief executive of the Greater Providence Chamber Foundation, which serves the private sector by generating new business investments in Rhode Island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Taricani Lecture Series on First Amendment Rights was established in 2019 in memory of James Taricani Hon. \u201918 to carry on his legacy of championing First Amendment rights as an award-winning investigative journalist. The series has provided students, faculty, and the broader 溏心vlog免费B站 community an opportunity to engage with these issues through an annual public lecture featuring courageous journalists with powerful stories to share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Taricani Visiting Journalist Fund will build on the series’ success to train the next generation of responsible journalists with the same steadfast values, ethics, and purpose that were hallmarks of Jim Taricani\u2019s career.
