Dave Poulson, the senior associate director of the Knight Center, will retire Aug. 15 after more than 21 years on the MSU Journalism School faculty.
We at the J-School miss him already.
Poulson, a professor of practice, is the founder and editor of Great Lakes Echo, the Knight Center’s award-winning regional environmental news service. In recent years, he spearheaded the center’s initiatives to boost diversity among environmental journalism students and practitioners, securing grant support from the Mott Foundation and Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessments program.
