history of SEJC
Since its beginning as an idea of Alabama professor David Sloan, the Southeast Journalism Conference has worked hard to meet its two original purposes: 1) to encourage greater interest in student journalism and 2) to create closer ties among journalism schools in the Southeast United States.
In November 1985 Sloan wrote a letter proposing a new organization based on those purposes and mailed it to all journalism programs in the South listed in the Journalism Directory, which is published annually by the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication. By January 1986 about 12 schools had indicated interest in joining, and later that spring Sloan met with representatives from four of those schools at an AEJMC regional meeting in Knoxville, Tenn. It was agreed that the group would use the constitution of the long-established Southwest Journalism Congress as an early model and begin formal operation in the 1986-87 school year.
