Campus Highlight: Malcolm Burnley at Brown University

(Each Monday during the academic year, I feature a "Campus Highlight": a unique, interesting, and noteworthy student organization, program, or initiative that demonstrates the amazing things college students do each and every day across the country.)

Although I usually highlight a student group or organization, this week I'm choosing to highlight one particular student: Malcolm Burnley at Brown University. His major accomplishment? He recently uncovered a long-forgotten speech by Malcolm X in his university archives. How's that for coming up with something new and exciting while doing research?!

As I've long complained about on this blog, college students often get a bad deal in the mass media. But Mr. Burnley's discovery has been picked up by several major media outlets, including MSNBC and The Huffington Post. Congrats, Mr. Burnley, not only on your discovery but for showing the amazing things college students do!
