Alumni to return as part of Journalism School Centennial
by Bev Kreul, posted Sept. 5, 2008
MU has provided opportunities for generations of students who have walked its grounds. This year, many scholars will retrace the steps they took when they were attending classes. The MU School of Journalism will be celebrating its centennial this month. In conjunction with the 100th anniversary, the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources will host the Agricultural Journalism Alumni Reception at 6 p.m., Sept. 11, in the Life Science Center.
Leaders in the agricultural journalism profession over the past 50 years will be represented at the reception as many well-known faces and local inspirations plan on attending. MU professors Bill Allen and Sharon Wood-Turley will welcome returning alumni and current agricultural journalism students.
“Former MU agricultural journalism faculty Delmar Hatesohl and Dick Lee will also attend the reception and have the chance to reconnect with past students and colleagues,” said Ginger Berry, CAFNR development specialist and also an agricultural journalism graduate from MU.
More recent graduates, such as Danita Allen, editor in chief, Missouri Life magazine, plan to reunite with classmates and network with current students.
Students and alumni will hear about what is new at MU as well as give updates on their lives and careers.
