Join OU SPJ as we celebrate the rights afforded to journalists and the public by the federal Freedom of Information Act and the individual state Sunshine Laws.
These laws provide us with the ability to keep track of our government by creating a level of transparency using open records and open meetings.
Below is the schedule of events for this week:
MONDAY 3/9
Sunshine Week Outreach - Washington Hall Movie Night
"All the President's Men"
8 p.m. Washington Hall study lounge (first floor)
*NOTE: This event open only to students in Washington Hall*
TUESDAY 3/10
Sunshine Week Headline Speaker
Frank Deaner
President, Ohio Coalition for Open Government
5 p.m. Scripps 111
WEDNESDAY 3/11
Sunshine Week Brown Bag Lunch
With Dr. Aimee Edmondson
12 p.m. Scripps 107
*Please bring your lunch (will not be provided)
Throughout the week, I encourage you all to write Letters to the Editor at local
newspapers to help educate our friends and peers about their rights as taxpayers
and as journalists.
We will also be painting the graffiti wall at a date and time TBD.
All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
