Upcoming meeting

I will be attending the next Winfield City Commission meeting taking place March 6th. Look for a full story reporting on that meeting.

Winfield's Own

Winfield journalism has lost a piece of itself this week. Lloyd Craig, winfield daily courier publisher, has passed away at the age of 82. Craig had worked in the Winfield Publishing Company for 56 years, but had became publisher for the Courier in 2009. He leaves behind a wife and three daughters. To read more about Craig's life go to the link below.

Docking Lecture

Nigerians poking their fingers in your chest and handing out death threats. Bullets whizzing by deviating inches from your head.

These were a few of the gut-wrenching stories that Sebastian Junger, award-winning author and American journalist, shared at the Docking Lecture on March 5 in the Richardson Performing Arts Center.

But before the Docking Lecture, I, along with Dalton Carver, communication senior, were able to interview Junger and talk to him about things that we wished to talk about. 

I had previously written the profile on Sebastian Junger and a book review on his book, "The Perfect Storm," so it was an honor for me to get firsthand interview experience with someone that is so established, educated, and well-spoken. 

I will be writing an upcoming story about the interview I had with Junger so stay updated on my blog. 

Sun in the Snow

There are several benefits of going to a small college. 

1. More one on one time with the professors.

2. "Family Feel" on campus. 

3. More traditions.

4. Less distractions 

5. You aren't just a number, you are a face. 

All of these things are true of Southwestern College, but another amazing thing about campus is how beautiful it is. This photograph was too beautiful not to share.
