UP President Fr. William Beauchamp, C.S.C., has appointed the three student media leaders for the 2011-2012 school year.
Beauchamp appointed Lauren Seynhaeve as editor in chief of The Log, Salvatore Liotta as general manager of KDUP and re-appointed Rosemary Peters as editor in chief of The Beacon.
Appointments were made based on recommendations from the Presidential Advisory Committee on Student Media and its subcommittees, which are made up of faculty members, UP staff and representatives from the student body.
"I'm very excited to work with everyone on the yearbook staff to make a book that everyone at UP can enjoy," Seynhaeve, a sophomore, said in an email. "I can't wait to make a good book."
Liotta, a junior, hopes to further engage the student body.
"I hope to facilitate some collaborations with the other organizations on campus and work toward cultivating cooperation within the community," Liotta said. "I am also excited to work with the great staff over at KDUP to help improve the station's ability to engage and serve the University's student population."
Peters wants to continue improving The Beacon's web presence.
"Next year we're planning on trying to do more videos and we're hiring a staff member to try to do a broadcast," Peters said. "I want The Beacon to be more of a one-stop shop of campus news."
