Such a pleasure to bring my @merrillcollege sports broadcasting class to the Wizards-Hawks game this week!
The students got to report pre and post game!
Thanks to the @WizPRStats @WashWizards for having us again this semester!
@PovichCenter
What a special night! We celebrated the @PovichCenter's 15th anniversary Thursday at our annual Povich Symposium — featuring a conversation between Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Pablo Torre and TV legend Maury Povich!
This year's event added an all-star panel of #merrillmade alumni, including Frank Isola '87, Tim Kurkjian '78, Monica McNutt '13, John Ourand '89 and Jimmy Roberts '79.
It was a wonderful night full of fascinating conversations and intriguing questions. Thank you all who attended! #fearlessjournalism

We're deeply saddened to share Dr. Carol L. Rogers, the first emeritus/emerita professor of the practice in the University of Maryland’s history and a respected former Merrill College faculty member, died Oct. 25 at age 82 after a two-year battle with colon cancer.
Rogers was on the Merrill College faculty from 1994 to 2014, and earned her Ph.D. at the college in 1998, after a distinguished career as a science journalist.
“I will always remember Carol Rogers as a welcoming voice when I first joined the faculty,” said Merrill College Dean Rafael Lorente, who was taught by Rogers as a UMD graduate student. “She was equal parts scholar, mentor and friend. She could talk journalism, politics, science or any other topic and do it in a way that taught you something while also making you feel heard.”
