An implementation team is in place to formalize establishing the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism Society of Alumni and Friends. A charter group met four times during winter and spring to draft a constitution and bylaws, and to brainstorm about ideas for the group.

The society will sponsor a Homecoming reception in Scripps Hall on Oct. 18. Other activities under consideration include receptions for incoming students and parents, and sponsorship of a scholarship for students serving internships. Angela Hazlett, BSJ '97, initiated much of the planning for the society.

The society tentatively plans to elect a board of directors and officers in the fall. For more information, call the School of Journalism at 614-593-2590.

In other constituent society news, Molly Doyle, BSHEC '79, became board president and Kevin Schroeder, BSH '83, president-elect for the 1997-98 academic year in June with the College of Health and Human Services Society of Alumni and Friends.

Newly elected and reelected to three-year board terms are: Steve Lomonico, BSH '92, and Jennifer Ticer, BSH '87, from the School of Health Sciences; Molly Witker, BSHSS '74, from the School of Hearing and Speech Sciences; Lanie Bager Hollister, BSHEC '94, from the School of Human and Consumer Sciences; Julie McAfoos, BSN '77, Bethany Jagers, BSN '88, and Wilda Rae Crawford Arnold, BSN '89, from the School of Nursing; Chris McKenzie, BSPT '89, from the School of Physical Therapy; and Schroeder, Sheila Lange Koch, BSPE '87, MSPE '88, and Rich Essex, BSED '74, MSPE '84, representing the School of Recreation and Sport Sciences.
