Digital Innovations Capstone - Christian McDonald

The Digital Innovation Capstone class is where seniors can bring together all the skills they have learned in journalism and throughout the university. Teams of students choose a topic of interest, research needs in that field and build a digital media project to fill that need.

Kathleen McElroy can map her life through sporting events on her calendar. In her hometown of Houston, she grew up watching sports with her parents and relished the idea of getting paid to sit in a press box and eat free food.

McElroy, whose father was a journalist, said she always knew she wanted to pursue journalism.

One hundred years ago, a journalist was born. A feminist was born. A woman who made a difference in Texas and national politics was born. A proud graduate of the School of Journalism and Media was born.
