Kyle Belanger develops new and vibrant curriculum

In addition to drawing from his broad and expansive professional journalism experiences, and integrating current theory and practice into his courses, Kyle Belanger has demonstrated an unquestionable reputation for responding to student and institutional feedback.

This action-based curricular focus has affected both his individual classes, as well as the Communications/Sports Journalism major in which he teaches.

From a program level, Kyle Belanger collaborated with his faculty colleagues to write, propose, and reshape the entire curriculum of a decades-long major, reimagining the future of communications professionals, and giving students the most modern industry education. This relaunch comes in the wake of his students being hired at such places as the New York Times, ESPN, and the Los Angeles Daily News, among countless others.

On an individual level, Kyle’s CV includes more than a dozen classes, many of which he wrote and launched as a direct response to student feedback and needs.

In addition, Belanger also draws on his countless media partnerships to expand the possibilities for his classes. Those possibilities have included partnering with local radio stations to host student-led broadcasts, and linking with regional nonprofits to create unique learning opportunities for his classes.
