Faculty Champions, 2023
The Center for Community News (CCN) at the University of Vermont's new program funds faculty champions at 33 universities and colleges who are starting and growing local news partnerships. The 33 faculty champions come from 21 different states. Fifteen of them work at minority serving institutions where student populations are majority non-white, including historically Black colleges and universities and Hispanic-serving institutions. Total funding of $54,000 is provided.
Champions receive $1,000 each and four institutions are receiving $6,000 each; Claflin University, Lane College, Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University and North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University.
