A very minor correction: Carleton has three ten-week trimesters. This class was held in winter trimester, not “spring semester”, as you wrote in the story.

A similar project was done in the winter trimester of 2003 with a class in radio production led by former NPR reporter, Dale Wilman, who was a visiting faculty member that term.

I took that class – staff are allowed to take one free class a term, if they so desire – and did a long story on Jacobsen’s Department Store. Good experience, although our radio stories were not required to be focused on Northfield. Many students covered stories from all areas of their lives.
