From 2006 to 2011, the School of Journalism and Communication ran a teaching partnership and student internship exchange program called the Rwanda Initiative.

[11] The project involved curriculum development for the university programs and media-training workshops for working journalists in Rwanda presented by faculty from both universities. [11]
The Initiative also included internship program for senior journalism students from Carleton. The journalism students would travel to Rwanda for two months, where they would intern at local media outlets. [12] The Rwanda Initiative also facilitated travel for Rwandan journalists to study at Carleton or take up internships with Canadian news organizations. [13]
The program was suspended in 2011 due to a lack of funding when a partnership agreement with the U.S. Government lapsed. [14] The annual cost of the program was stated at $240,000 CAD. [10]
In 2020, the School of Journalism and Communication launched a research initiative called The Future of Journalism Initiative.

[18] Tory is credited with personally spearheading the creation of the School of Journalism as a response to demands from returning World War II servicemen. [19] The program began as an extension course and later became a four-year program. [20]
