Seeking to instill new guidelines to elevate news journalism, Dr. Crystal Rose works to make OZY a shining beacon in an era where academic discourse and current events should be two sides of the same coin.

Now, as OZY’s Executive Director of Academic Affairs, she continues to collaborate with schools, universities and education companies — all in an effort to bring the real world into the classroom.
