Professor Loop is a VP!

I've always thought Mead Loop has to be one of the busiest faculty members on campus. And that was before he became the chair of the Journalism Department.

Turns out he's busier than I thought. In addition to everything he does here in Park, Mead is just as active on a larger scale: after many years of service to and leadership in the Society of Professional Journalists, he has just been elected Vice President of SPJ -- which is the largest journalism organization in the country.

As VP, he'll be responsible for campus chapter affairs nationwide, and he'll serve on the executive committee in charge of SPJ finances and policies.

Next time you see him, congratulate him for this national honor...he may be the only VP in the building!
