Drop by for our Homecoming reception
by Robert Stewart, Director; Professor
Journalism alumni back in Athens for Homecoming should drop by Scripps Hall immediately after the parade to meet up with former (and new!) professors, classmates, staff and JSchool Ambassadors.
Former director Ralph Izard is back in town and plans to attend, which probably will be a highlight for many alums from the “Riz” generation. Many Posties will remember fondly Ralph’s work as adviser to The Post.
