Luncheon scheduled honoring Singer

As the University of Texas Journalism School celebrates its 100th birthday, the Friends of the Daily Texan will honor Griff Singer at a luncheon on Oct. 17 at 11:30 a.m. on UT campus. 

Singer, who has been involved with the journalism school for more than half his life, will also be moderating a panel prior to the luncheon. “Making a Difference: Community Journalism in Texas” will begin at 10 a.m. in the Belo Center for New Media, BMC 5.201 and will feature Libby Averyt, Corpus Christi Caller Times; Diana Fuentes, the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas; Yvonne Mintz, The Facts (Clute); and Jim Moser, Moser Community Media. There is a charge to attend the luncheon, but the panel is free with no RSVP required.

Basic ticket prices for the luncheon are $100, but The Daily Texan is also accepting sponsorships from $250-5,000. To register, visit http://tinyurl.com/GriffSinger.
