What a Day to be at Lindenwood!

Nelly Visits Lindenwood

Wow - what a day here on our St. Charles campus! From Twitter buzz at lunchtime to a visit from Nelly, there was plenty to talk, er I mean, brag about today! First, check out a few photos from our scholarship event this afternoon with Nelly...

These two photos are with TV Reporting student Jessica Rogers; here she is interviewing him along side our local St. Louis media. The next is a shot of her shooting, what we call in TV, a "stand-up". Check out her report for LU-TV on her blog soon.

Today's event was sponsored by Lindenwood University's Black Student Union. It was a scholarship awards ceremony honoring two area high school students who will be attending LU next fall. Fox2, CW11, KSDK and the Post-Dispatch all covered the event. I'll be tweeting links to their stories later, so watch for those.






Twitter and Facebook Event


Also today, we set up a table outside of the cafeteria in the Spellmann Center to discuss Lindenwood University's new Facebook page, and our various school Twitter accounts.

Many thanks to our students Julie, Samantha, Chance and Andrew for helping inform others about Twitter and our school's social media efforts.

If you'd like to see more pictures from today's events, visit both @jillfalk's and @LU_Comm_School's Twitter pages - and sign up to follow us if you haven't done so already!

Here's a photo of TV Reporting student Alex Kerns interviewing Samantha about Twitter. Catch the full report on her blog next week.
