The judges in the CASE District II Accolades Awards program selected the P.I. Reed School of Journalism’s See What You Can Be recruitment website to receive a Silver Award in the Web Site: Student Recruitment category. Launched in Spring 2013, the site features short videos profiles of students and alumni focused on a series of roles – as opposed to specific job titles – with which prospective students can identify. The videos and stories are also used individually in print and electronic recruitment materials. Judges were quoted saying that the campaign was a “really interesting concept” and “a great way for prospective students to imagine their future.”
Matt Carson serves as the web designer and developer; Christa Currey serves as the producer and interviewer for the videos; and Alex Wilson (former SOJ team member) and David Smith serve as the videographer/photographer and editor.
When William (“Bud”) and Jean Reed first met at Ohio State in fall of 1945, it was love at first sight – at least for him. A charmer and salesman, Bud eventually won Jean over, and they were “pinned” her freshman year. Four years later, they were married and started a life together – a love match that lasted 44 years until Jean’s death in 1993.
First-generation college students, both Bud and Jean Reed directly benefited from their education at a land-grant university, including meeting their life’s partner. In tribute, their children created an academic scholarship at WVU in their memory.

On December 11, the WVU P.I. Reed School of Journalism hosted “Programming in Processing in 50 Minutes” – a one-hour introduction to computer science designed to demystify ‘code’ and build code literacy among non-computer scientists.
