IU visits Washington D.C. and New York City

Recently, two faculty members took students from their departments to visit Washington D.C. and New York City. Colonel John Church's Media Ethics and Law class visited the Newseum in Washington, D.C., learning about the freedom of the press and exploring some ethical dilemmas in journalism. Professor Chris Baeza and students from Immaculata's Fashion Merchandising program had the opportunity to go to New York City for a fashion study tour. During the tour, students visited industry leaders in fashion and learned about job opportunities. IU students also participated in an educational shopping trip learning how visual merchandising is used to promote product lines. You can see photos from the two trips on Immaculata University's facebook page, here.
