Classy D.C. Blogger Replaces Class Next Week


Next week, we won't have class on Tuesday, Oct. 6. Instead, please do your best to attend a guest lecture on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 4 p.m. in the Coffeehouse. Nikki Schwab, a blogger/reporter for The Washington Examiner's Yeas & Nays column, will be here. (That's Nikki, left, with her fellow columnist Tara Palmieri, right, in the picture.)

Schwab, a Ligonier native, came to The Washington Examiner Yeas & Nays column (www.washingtonexaminer.com) from U.S. News & World Report, where she'd been a reporter for the widely-read Washington Whispers column. She also produced the Washington Whispers section on u.s.news.com, updating its content throughout the day. She previously served internships at WashingtonPost.com, Newsweek Interactive, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Gateway Newspapers. She graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh and received a master 's degree in communication from American University.

Schwab's talk is free and open to the public. For more info, call 724-836-7481.
