Sandra Mitchell, JOUR ’85, the afternoon news anchor on KCAL 9 and CBS 2 in Los Angeles, is the featured speaker at the annual Dorothy I. Kirsch Lecture, and recounts her journey to Los Angeles and the anchor desk at KCAL 9 after working for several stations throughout the United States.

The annual lecture is named after Dorothy Italie Kirsch, JOUR ’36. She and her husband created the lecture series in 1993 because, “hearing the insight and perspectives of leading communication specialists offers a unique chance for students to see the breadth of opportunity that awaits them.”
