Since April 2020, St. Bonaventure University students have been working in a Jandoli Institute workshop with PolitiFact Senior Correspondent Louis Jacobson.

Each semester, a group of students meet regularly on Zoom with Jacobson and Jandoli Institute Executive Director Richard Lee to fact-check statements for PolitiFact, one of the nation’s leading fact-checking organizations.
