Nomi Morris, Program Chair for Visual Journalism at Brooks Institute in California, will give a special presentation on careers in photography and digital media to students, staff and guests on Tuesday May 7th at 11:28-12;30 in the library. Earlier this month Javier Manzano, a former student of Morris’ college program, won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography. Morris herself is a veteran journalist who has been a correspondent in the Middle East, a TIME Magazine correspondent in Berlin, and a writer for the Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, Maclean’s and The Toronto Star.
Brooks Institute has been a leader in educating professional photographers from around the world for 68 years. In addition to Photography, and the Visual Journalism program, Brooks also grants degrees in Film and Graphic Design.
