Acting Dean Deborah Cai and Provost David Boardman welcomed students, faculty, and alumni to one of Klein College’s most meaningful traditions — the student conversation that launches the annual Lew Klein Alumni in the Media Awards. This year’s guest, ABC News anchor and managing editor David Muir, shared his insights on the future of journalism, the importance of authenticity, and the power of storytelling to unite and inform. Students asked thoughtful questions about international reporting, mental wellness, and maintaining integrity in a rapidly changing media landscape — embodying the spirit of Lew Klein’s vision to learn directly from leaders shaping the industry.
