UPCOMING EVENTS

"Is graduate school right for you?"

Feb. 21, 6 p.m., University of Tennessee Communications building (Scripps Convergence Lab, 4th floor)

Graduate school is great for some, but it's not for everybody. In an effort to help students decide, University of Tennessee's SPJ chapter will have a Feb. 21 panel to showcase communication professionals' different views of graduate school. The panel will include Catherine Luther, associate dean of academic programs for UT's School of Communications; Pat Thomas, the head of UGA's Master's Program in Health and Medical Journalism; Danny Sierra, a former UT journalism student now enrolled in graduate school at Bowling Green State University; and Rusty Odom, publisher of Blank Newspaper, who didn't attend graduate school.
