JCU Alumni Golf Classic
Reunion weekend got underway on the links with the JCU Alumni Golf Classic at Sleepy Hollow Golf Course, Friday afternoon.
Tim Russert: The John Carroll Years
Filmmaker Linda Meglin '74 is the creator of the documentary - "Tim Russert: The John Carroll Years" She began the project three years ago as Inaugural Chair of the Tim Russert Department of Communication Advisory Council. Linda selflessly donated her time, treasure, and talent to the University to make this film a reality and completed it in time in honor of what would have been Tim Russert's 50th Reunion this past weekend. The film not only helps to preserve the Russert legacy on our campus but also commemorates Tim's contributions as a political journalist of the highest integrity.
