A Day in the Life of the University of Rhode Island
On April 20, 2005, the 14 students in the Online Journalism Practicum set out with notebooks and cameras to document the day. The results of their work are online. We urge you to check out the site, read the stories and look at the photographs. You also can access the group's first project, "Religion on Campus."
