Another Championship for LSU, this time on the PR front

I'm sure your post will get mocked, but that's actually pretty cool.

Congrats, very deserving. Everything they do is top notch, including the videos

I had Clemson in the pool. Darn.

Heard we are still in running with a JUCO Photoshop stud who just got his associate's but he has lots of baggage.

From the desk of Jerry Ceppos, Dean of LSU Manship School of Mass Communications:


Don Lemon, Cokie Roberts entertain - and teach - students
Dear alums and other friends,


May grads, as well as other students, hit the jackpot when journalists Don Lemon, the CNN anchor, and Cokie Roberts, the ABC and NPR political analyst, visited the Manship School.

Lemon spoke at the Manship graduation May 17 but also met students at a small dinner the night before and at a brunch in the Holliday Forum just before his speech. In an emotional speech that he said he wrote only that morning, Lemon, who attended the LSU journalism school, talked about overcoming disappointment again and again. As he wrote in the opening paragraph of this book, "Transparent," "On March 1, 1966, the day I was born, Louisiana told me 'no' in many ways because I was born black. Fortunately, this little black boy's family didn't get the memo. My family told me 'yes,' and they affirmed it every day of my life." Lemon's mom, who lives in Port Allen, and his older sister attended the events.

CBS correspondent Bob Schieffer spoke at the spring Manship graduation last year. For the last two winter graduations, prominent local figures Sean Reilly and Dan Borne have spoken. We're going to try to continue this new tradition of prominent national media figures speaking in the spring and prominent local figures speaking in the winter.

Cokie Roberts took a tour of the Journalism Building and of the Student Media operations in Hodges Hall before lunch in the Holliday Forum May 16. Roberts answered so many student questions that she almost was late to the main LSU graduation, where she praised the Manship School and congratulated the Reveille for being named the best student daily in the country. (The entire audience, or close to it, applauded loudly at the mention of the Reveille award.) Roberts is the daughter of former Louisiana Reps. Hale and Lindy Boggs.

Best,


Jerry Ceppos

Dean

The Daily Reveille advertising staff earns national awards
College Newspaper Business and Advertising Managers (CNBAM) announced its 2013 advertising contest winners at an awards banquet on April 6 during its annual national convention held in San Diego, CA.


The Daily Reveille Advertising & Marketing staff garnered five awards in this prestigious competition. (Note that many schools enter and do not win a single award.) Most categories were limited to three winners, however larger categories named five winning entries.

That's great
