#WhyGreenlee: I chose Greenlee because the faculty welcomed me with open arms. I had some ideas of what I would want to study, but everyone ensured me that the program would be unique to me and my interests. I’m thankful to be able to have an opportunity to explore all options of journalism and mass communication.
