Adam Kuban, journalism – $2,250
Indiana Campus Compact, four-month grant starting Jan. 1,
2016
This
grant will fund printing of “Facing Cancer in East Central Indiana,” a collection
of stories and photographs by roughly 20 students either in journalism’s Louis
E. Ingelhart Scholars program or in communication studies. Each writer
will interview one person who’s facing or has faced cancer, then create a
first-person story from that subject’s experience. Others will tell stories
through photos or videos.
The
book will be given away during
a community reading of stories March 19 at Muncie
Civic Theatre. Remaining copies will go to Cancer Services of East Central Indiana-Little Red Door
and other entities helping those facing cancer.
