Ohio State’s SPJ chapter celebrates 100th anniversary

Join members of The Ohio State University student chapter of SPJ as they celebrate the chapter’s 100th anniversary Friday, Oct. 28, with a program featuring 2009 Pulitzer Prize winner Jim Schaefer of the Detroit Free Press.

The free program will take place from 3:15-4:30 p.m. in the Ohio Staters Traditions room on the second floor of the Ohio Union.

Schaefer is an OSU graduate who won the Pulitizer for local reporting with partner M.L. Elrick. Their coverage of Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick uncovered evidence that the mayor had perjured himself in court and spent millions in tax dollars covering up his misdeeds.

Following the program, the Central Ohio pro chater will host a networking reception from 5-7 p.m. at Gooeyz, 1554 N. High St.
