The course is geared toward students who wonder how The New York Times and The Guardian put together their Pulitzer Prize-winning interactive stories, Snow Fall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek and NSA Files Decoded: What the Revelations Mean for You. Students go “behind the curtain” and learn basic web design and programming skills through HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and use other digital tools to imagine, design and create powerful, compelling interactive features with audio, video, graphics—and words—that are on the cutting edge of journalism and mass communications.

W&L: A Place Like Home?
Washington and Lee is experiencing an identity crisis as administrators, faculty, students and their parents pull in different directions. Is the university a liberal arts institution? Or is it a business school with liberal arts on the side? The university’s trustees have approved a strategic plan that aims to address many of the issues that have dogged the school for years, especially diversity and inclusion of students and faculty of color who often don’t feel at home at W&L.

83 Percent
Washington and Lee University is at a pivotal point in its history, facing demands to diversify a student body that is 83 percent white. Students, faculty and administrators readily admit that W&L, widely viewed as one of the best liberal arts universities, could become even better if it recruits and retains more students of color.

I-81 Hell
Framed by the Chesapeake Bay to its right and the Blue Ridge Mountains to its left, Virginia’s location at the foot of the Mid-Atlantic region makes it a popular passage for travelers driving up and down the Atlantic Coast. But the state’s natural features contribute to a distinctive climate and terrain along Interstate 81 that can test even the best driver’s abilities.
