Cronkite Village

Cronkite Village is a residential college designed especially for Cronkite School freshmen and in fall 2008 will be part of the brand new state-of-the-art journalism complex on the downtown Phoenix campus. Cronkite Village students will live and learn together in Taylor Place, a residence hall opening this August.

Through tours and other activities, the Cronkite Village program gives participating students a unique opportunity to interact with professionals from newspapers, radio and television stations, public relations agencies and online organizations in the nation’s 12th largest media market.

Students also gain hands-on experience by working on a Web site or TV or radio show and have the opportunity to get to know their professors over lunch or dinner and through special lectures, workshops and other activities.

A Halloween costume contest, a holiday party, barbeques, craft evenings, Sunday night parties and other events are just some of the things in store especially for Cronkite Village students.

Here’s what’s planned for fall 2008:

Mondays—Professional night

Tuesdays—Cronkite Clubs night

Wednesdays—Cronkite Night at the Movies

Thursdays—Lunch with faculty members

Fridays—Phoenix Fridays

Saturdays—College football or tech training

Sundays—NFL games on the big screen and Cronkite Village party
