SUNY Oswego will again host some of the top names in the media industry when the 2008 edition of the Lewis B. O'Donnell Media Summit, titled Media ®Evolution, unfolds on Wednesday, Oct. 22.

The daylong event will feature an afternoon panel presentation as well as the esteemed panelists visiting classes and leading small-group discussions. These experts-in-residence will prepare students and audience members for changes in the Internet and new digital media, television and video, radio/audio-recorded music, and recorded music and motion-picture copyrights.

Watch this space for more details in the future!

The Media Summit was founded through the generosity of Louis A. Borrelli Jr., chief executive officer of NEP Broadcasting and a 1977 Oswego graduate. In 2007, Al Roker (SUNY Oswego '82), weathercaster and host of NBC's "Today" show, provided additional funding to rename the summit in memory of longtime professor Dr. Lewis B. O'Donnell, a seminal figure in the college experiences of Borrelli and Roker. The college's communication studies department coordinates the summit.
