In November 2005, the College of Communication welcomed Boston University alumni recipients of the Pulitzer Prize in Journalism back to campus to celebrate and honor their accomplishments and contributions to journalism.

Many of these esteemed alumni participated in a series of panels spanning two days and covering contemporary issues facing the journalism industry, including the effects of economics, diminishing resources and a politically polarized nation on investigative reporting; the roles of advocacy and emotion in the press; and ethics, patience, and art in photojournalism.
