  1. Review of April 12, 2024
     
  2. March Kudos
    1. Nominator - Rick Alloway. Rick nominated Maria Marron. Maria provided a guest lecture to my Media Ethics & Society students about the intersection of media, ethics and government. She brought in a wide range of print articles and video clips of election advertising, candidate debates, talk shows and other forms of political content as examples of how media coverage of politics and government has changed over the decades. She also posed questions to the students about ethical issues associated with political coverage and the "turnstyle" effect of people sliding back and forth between jobs in government and as media commentators. Thanks, Maria.
    2. Nominee - Alisa Smith. Alisa was nominated by Haley Hamel. Alisa has played a pivotal role in our priority registration, meeting with an impressive number of students while adeptly managing a multitude of other responsibilities. Her ability to effectively navigate and resolve the challenges and roadblocks that have arisen during the registration period has been nothing short of remarkable. We are immensely grateful for Alisa's resilience and dedication, which have significantly contributed to the smooth running of our registration process. Thank you, Alisa, for your outstanding efforts and commitment.
