Phyllis designated her gift to support scholarships for undergraduate students enrolled in the School. Phyllis' presence is already felt around St. Pat's. It was an earlier contribution from her estate that financed the Wilfrid Eggleston Room. It's an opportunity to meet with the departmental committee and get caught up on our accomplishments and concerns, and share views on matters of broad interest to Carleton. The event will take place in the University Club on Mar. 20 in the early evening.
Precise details are forthcoming.
Last year, the j-alums introduced the annual reception when Kirk LaPointe, then executive editor of the National Post, spoke about that new daily newspaper. The 12 students found out about U.K. policies and society during study week. The students were also updated on the devolution of powers to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and on reform of the House of Lords. Media visits included the BBC and Daily Telegraph in London, as well as the ITV regional operation and Thomson Foundation in Cardiff. Students also participated in classes at the University of Cardiff journalism school.
