Rev. Bryan N. Massingale of Marquette University spoke at Le Moyne College’s Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Convocation earlier this week. During his lecture, titled “A View from the Mountaintop,” he talked about racism as a soul sickness and how King’s fiery rhetoric still rings relevant today, especially as it relates to social justice.

ESPN announcer and SU grad (’84) Sean McDonough spoke at Newhouse School of Communications on Friday.
Veteran sports journalist Sean McDonough has covered everything from the Olympics and The Masters to the World Series. On Friday, he advised SU students to get as much practical experience as they could on the Hill and early in their careers. And although he graduated 30 years ago, he still finds himself rooting for SU when they are televised (but not when he’s doing play-by of course).
McDonough called today’s SU v. Miami game with Kara Lawson.

Journalist Michele Norris was the featured speaker for the 30th Annual Dr. martin Luther King , Jr. Celebration at Syracuse University.
