EVANSTON, Ill. – An Illinois university’s typo is getting national attention.
Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communication recently gave 30 diplomas to graduates on which the word “integrated” was spelled without the ‘n.’
Kit Fox, one of the 250 students who graduated from the school Saturday, tweeted a photo of a friend’s diploma that showed the error.
The diploma would have been tagged with a “Medill F” – a stamp earned by students who commit factual or spelling errors. Fox said graduates greeted the error with humour.
