Guarino attending two workshops for college editors

Pendulum editor Jennifer Guarino was selected to attend Columbia University's College Editors' Leadership Workshop May 27-31. The workshop is funded by Pew Charitable Trusts, and tuition, room and most meals are provided to those attending.

Each year just 20 senior editors are selected from across the United States to attend the Columbia sessions on campus and at news organizations such as The New York Times, ABC and People magazine. Guarino had to write a 500-word essay and submit other materials in order to be considered for this honor. The program administrator is Dr. Nancy Beth Jackson of Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism.

Guarino was selected for two summer 2002 workshops. She will also be attending the Management Seminar for College Newspaper Editors 2002 August 5-11. The workshop is sponsored by the University of Georgia College of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Cox Institute for Newspaper Management Studies. Among the dozens of guest instructors will be Conrad Fink, former foreign correspondent and vice president for The Associated Press and director of the Cox Institute for Newspaper Management Studies, and Jim Wooten and nine other top leaders from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
