A message from our Publisher

Welcome to The Daily Alumni Web site!

I've had the opportunity to meet several former The Daily employees over the last few years. The one consistent theme expressed is the sense of "family" that is developed by working closely with so many people for so many hours.

The Daily Alumni Web site is here to nourish that sense of family. It doesn't matter when you worked at The Daily - during the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, or even within the last few years. If you spent your college career within The Daily walls, you're family!

We invite you to return to The Daily offices to reminisce, peruse our archives, read the walls, and visit with student staff. We also encourage you to share your knowledge and experience with our young journalists and advertising representatives, to help them gain the skills they need to succeed at The Daily and in the industry. We are also now pursuing fundraising for capital improvements, training, conferences, and scholarships. 

Thanks,

Kristin

A message from our Editor-in-Chief

Welcome to The Daily’s alumni site! As a college senior, I'm in the process of wading through what seems like both a limited and endless sphere of opportunities open to me in the journalism field. Do I want to work at a major daily publication? Do I want to pack my bags and freelance in Africa? Should I just stay in school and get an actual degree in Journalism?

What I'm more sure of is that working at The Daily during the past couple of years has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, without which I wouldn't have any of the options available to me now. I'm excited about the directions The Daily is moving toward, including the prospect of a more interactive Daily alumni networking Web site.

A great resource for students is the advice and support from those who have come before them. Without the encouragement I've received from advisers, mentors and even Daily alumni, I might not be where I am today. I highly encourage alumni to return to The Daily to find their quotes on the walls and share their own experiences, knowledge and guidance.

Thank you,
