SPJ student members to be proud of

Outreach and impact such as this are what make me a proud member of SPJ.

To Whom It May Concern:

Hello, my name is Heidi Greenleaf, and I am the president of the Towson University chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.

After the Virginia Tech shootings, our organization came up with the idea to make and sell Virginia Tech-colored ribbons and bracelets. We sold out two nights in a row and raised $380.

One hundred percent of our profits were given to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund.

I would like to recognize the Towson SPJ students for doing such a wonderful job for a great cause.

Sincerely,
Heidi Greenleaf
SPJ President, Towson University

maybe the reporters at Towson State can take it a step further by putting the issue of gun control back on the table--and keeping in there until laws are tightened.

I recently saw an infographic which showed the number of American households owning guns has dropped from 50 percent in the 1970s to under 30 percent today.
To me, this would indicate that Americans no longer feel that they need a gun for protection (most ownership goes to hunters, police officers, collectors). Yet Cho ordered a gun online....? With a history of mental illness?
