Journalism Grad Honored by Alumni Association
Award-winning photojournalist and University of Arkansas journalism graduate Art Meripol was honored on Oct. 31st during the 65th annual Alumni Awards Celebration hosted by the University of Arkansas Alumni Association. Meripol, a 1977 graduate, got his start at the student publications Arkansas Traveler and the Razorback yearbook. For thirteen years, he shot photos for area newspapers, mostly the Arkansas Gazette and went on to publish photographs in The New York Times, USA Today, Sports Illustrated and Time. But his employer these days is Southern Living magazine, which frequently sends him and his camera to the Caribbean and Mexico. Now living in Birmingham, Ala., Meripol still describes himself as a passionate Arkansan despite the fact that he is a Texas native. At the awards celebration, Meripol renewed his love affair with Arkansas when accepting his award. I love this university, and I love this state, he said. In all, eleven alumni were honored, including Gov. Mike Beebe.
Yearbook Nets Two Top Prizes
Chalk up another victory for the Razorback. At the Associated Collegiate Press Annual Convention in Austin, Texas on Oct. 31, the award-winning University of Arkansas yearbook received two ACP Pacemaker Awards one for the book in its entirety and one for its Web site, http://yearbook.uark.edu. The Pacemaker is perhaps the most prestigious prize in the world of college media. For the yearbook to receive two is an honor indeed, Steve Wilkes, UA director of student media told the UA newspaper, the Traveler. It speaks very highly of the students who participate in the Razorback. Shannon Sanders, the editor of the 2008 Razorback, accepted the award.
