Brett Johnson, an associate professor in the University Missouri School of Journalism has been named a 2021-2022 Presidential Engagement Fellow.
The UM System program recognizes outstanding faculty who excel at communicating their research to the public and charges them with representing the system at several outreach events throughout the state each year.
Johnson teaches and researches mass communication law and is no stranger to bringing his work to the wider community. He has already been visiting high schools in mid-Missouri for several years, raising awareness about the laws that govern online communications and free speech, a practice that fits neatly into the program’s goal of “sharing research discoveries and expert knowledge with Missouri citizens in every county.”
