The dedication of Newhouse III brought some big names back to class at Newhouse. This time, they were guest speakers not students. Consumerman for NBC Herb Weisbaum, sports broadcasting legend Bob Costas, and former voice of the Yankees, Dave Cohen came to talk to Professor John Nicholson's broadcast-journalism class.
The speakers gave the students career advice and spoke about their career paths. Weisbaum talked about the changing media, explaining the shift of content to the Internet before it ever makes it to the airwaves.
"Coney Island" Dave Cohen described how he continued to reinvent himself as his career progressed. He talked about his ability to move from television news to play by play to movies and television promos.
All three alums frequently return to Syracuse classrooms to help current students. Costas will also give a speech at Newhouse Friday open too all students.
