Tuesday
Another crazy hectic day.
Had breakfast, met up with our groups then went to hear Ed Prugh talk about Public Relations and Press. I heard his speech on Monday, in my cluster session, but it was interesting to hear it twice.
Then we traveled to the National Press Club & heard Chuck Todd (political director and Chief White House correspondent & member of NBC News & MSNBC) & his panel speak as well as answer questions. Eh, I could take it or leave it. What really impressed me was hearing Hoda Kotb (Co-host, fourth hour of TODAY, NBC) speak. She was so moving with her honesty. She is exactly the kind of woman I want to grow up to be. She even played “Black & Yellow” over the speakers…Imagine that!
We returned to the University, met with our groups and did a mock newspaper spread over the Casey Anthony verdict.
Afterwards we heard another panel while eating dinner (another delicious vegetarian option for me, kudos). For me, the stand-out was obviously Kevin McCarthy, the young, funny and spunky movie critic. I got his card after he spoke, & plan on e-mailing him regarding opportunities in his line of work.
Lastly, we went on a moonlit monument tour. The White House is so beautiful at night!
Anyway, keep reading & leaving your comments.
