Roxanne Zimmer teaches courses in news and feature writing as well as broadcast journalism. Since internships are key for moving into the workplace, Dr. Zimmer has directed students to internships in news, sports, fashion, music, public relations, advertising and entertainment industries in New York City. Her interests in environmental advocacy inform her work with first year students in required writing classes and a junior year Viewpoints course. With colleagues, she helped launch the new certificate program in Community Action for students who would want to participate in problem-solving and decision-making at local, regional and state levels.
