The word is out, I’m a fellow

Category: Misc

By Denise Ross

Here I was, just sitting in the SDSU Student Union catching up on my e-mail and blogging, and I checked the Argus website, and there’s my name in a headline.

I was going to post on this later in the week, but the news is out. I’m a fellow. (A turn of phrase that Mr. Hoghouse has been having no small amount of fun with.)

I am the Lusk Fellow in Journalism at my alma mater this week, which is as weird for me as it is for the rest of you. I’ll be meeting with students, faculty and the new president. Maybe I’ll even get a tour of my old dorm room. (Oooh, and Ray’s Corner is a must. So, too, Jim’s Tap. Maybe I’m not fancy enough to be a fellow?)

I’ll be speaking at 6:30 pm Wednesday at the Ag Engineering Hall - I guess it’s been redone since my time - about new media. And that includes you, blog babies.

The Lusk fellowship, btw, is thanks to the family that founded the Huron Plainsman. The Lusk name is all over SDSU - and not just in journalism, and I’m trying to find out more about this now that I’m a part of it. That new media mecca, Google, hasn’t been much help yet.

    Does this mean we’re supposed to start singing “dude looks like a lady..”

    Denise,

    Congratulations on a well deserved honor. Does this mean Woster is a woman?

    Jeff - You might be onto something. Can you investigate this further and report back? -Denise

    Way to go Denise! SDSU recognizes talent when they see it. When will the Rapid City Journal report this accomplishment?

    Congrats, Denise!

    Though rather than touring your old dorm room, I think you should haunt the Collegian space - When you add up the hours, you probably spent more waking hours as a dungeon dweller than as a dorm denizen! I’m pretty sure that Fluff, Spud, Glove and Latz all had converted their working desks into beds or at least cots!

    Again, congrats!
