Wednesday, May 15 Speaker Event

Our Seattle ESU branch often invites other groups including Phi Beta Kappa Alumni to our special events. This month our members are invited to a most interesting talk and luncheon. You will enjoy learning about the role of journalism in East African countries. We thank Phi Beta Kappa Alumni for including our members!
Spring Luncheon with Speaker: Ruth Moon, Ph.D.: "Stories from the Field: Understanding Journalism Work in Rwanda." Wednesday, May 15, at 11:45am, Seattle Yacht Club, 1807 E. Hamlin Street, Seattle. Ruth Moon has a Ph.D. in communications from the University of Washington. She studies journalists and the ways they incorporate competing pressures and values into their work, especially in authoritarian contexts where technological infrastructure is weak.

The luncheon starts at 11:45am; doors open at 11:30am. The cost is $40 per person and guests are welcome. For your luncheon entree you may select either lemon-herb chicken or butternut squash ravioli. Please let us know of any special dietary requests. Please make your reservation by May 8th.
