Drury's television studio will get a makeover thanks to
an alumna's donation
When video students walk into the Drury television studio in the fall of 2012, they'll be greeted with a fully functioning, high definition facility capable of giving students a real-time television experience. The re-tooling of the studio in the Shewmaker Communication Center is made possible by a $150,000 donation from 1973 Drury graduate and former news anchor Carole Lambert.
"We can't thank Carole enough for her generous donation. With more than three decades in the television news business, she knows how important it is for students to walk out of college with live broadcast experience in front of and behind the cameras," said Brian Shipman, Drury video instructor. "These improvements will give our students the experience and skills they need to be the journalists and broadcasters of the future." Read entire article here.
