Bob Costas spoke to a class of Newhouse students today, talking about his career and dishing out career advice to the aspiring journalists. For about an hour and a half, Costas reminisced on his time at Syracuse University, gave perspective on what it was like to broadcast different sporting events, and reminded the students how important it was to get a full education.
"Get as well rounded of an education as you can," Costas said. "And that doesn't just mean in the classroom. It means reading, being observant, and taking something out of every interaction with the people you cross paths with."
In addition to Costas, Herb Weisbaum, better known as the ConsumerMan, and voice-over artist Dave Cohen came to talk to the students about their careers and how to advance in the market. Tomorrow Costas will speak to a much larger audience when he addresses more students in Newhouse III's Joyce Herganhan Auditorium.
