Coverage of La Salle’s commencement exercises included coverage by TV stations WCAU (Channel 10), KYW (Channel 3), CWU (Channel 57), WPHL (Channel 17) and WPVI (Channel 6) (5/15); KYW Newsradio interviewed nursing graduate Eileen Baughan about switching her careers; (5/15) Philadelphia Daily News columnist Dan Gross reported local talk show host Dom Giordano’s son, Luke, was named the top mathematics student and how Andrea Casella, the top accounting student, interned with the Philadelphia Eagles; the Philadelphia Daily News published an op-ed by nursing graduate Shayla Morales Robinson about the challenges she faced and overcame while earning her degree in the BSN-Achieve program; the Capitol (Annapolis, MD) Gazette reported how senior Patrick Terranova delivered the commencement address and will attend graduate school at Georgia Tech University; the Norristown Times-Herald’s Web page posted a story on mother-daughter graduates Eileen and Mary Behr; the Brooklyn (MN) Sun-Post did story on Megan Weiss, who graduated with a 4.0 GPA
The last placement took several tries. I had sent the paper notices about Megan's accomplishments but nothing was published. This time I asked Megan's parents to contact the paper: which they did and the paper returned their call. BTW, Megan plans to volunteer to teach at a Christian Brothers school in Yakima, WA begining this fall. I hope to get the Yakima HErald to do a story on her!
The oped piece by Shayla Robinson started when one of her nursing professors sent me a letter Shayla had written to the faculty of the school of nursing and health sciences. I contacted her and changed the letter into an oped; the Daily News' editor, Pat McLoon, a La Salle grad, emailed me and told me he loved the piece.
