Students in Professor Sinha Roy's Communication Arts Media Studies class, mostly first- and second-years, were challenged to interview someone in the campus community they did not already know. They learned to foster a deep connection with a stranger to uncover a personal story, and then to use their communication skills to amplify the person's voice as a storyteller.
