Beaumier Suites B-C

All students, faculty, and staff are invited to join the library-sponsored spring colloquium, presented by Mike Gousha, distinguished fellow in law and public policy at Marquette University Law School.  An award-winning journalist, Gousha will discuss the many changes in the news business and the changing nature of how we get our news, including highlights from his career (including the good, the bad, and the ugly).

Gousha earned a degree in journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and worked at WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee for 25 years before joining Marquette in 2007.  He has earned numerous national and local awards during his journalism career, including two Emmy awards.  Gousha has received the Associated Press' prestigious Carol Brewer award for outstanding, long-term contributions to broadcast journalism in Wisconsin.  The Milwaukee Press Club named him a Knight of the Golden Quill, the club's rarest and highest honor.  He continues to work as a contributing anchor and reporter for WISN-TV in Milwaukee and is the host of the weekly Sunday morning program "Up Front with Mike Gousha."

The colloquium series is jointly sponsored by the Marquette University Librarians' Assembly and the Library Support Staff Association.  The event is free, open to all, and light refreshments will be available.  Questions concerning the event may be addressed to Michelle Sweetser at 288-5905 or E-mail.
