Jen –
Sounds like an incredible program, wish I’d taken more classes like this while I was at NU. Check out the “Global Journalism” program also – who knows where you may be able to base your work!
How does one qualify? I am a woman; a very young 69; an excellent writer and I am starving for more education.
Somehow I think that makes me a minority. O, did I tell you I am a “sister” with such an incredable world and ministry experience?
