Nearly everyone has a favorite teacher. I can distinctly remember two of mine, Ms. Paque and Ms. Collins. They were great educators, spinning torrents of exciting material out for their students to attempt to catch. They were pleasant and kind, but demanded extraordinary effort.

For months, noise associated with construction and renovation of Moudy Building South, home of the College of Communication, became a part of the class experience for students there.

John Lumpkin, director of the Schieffer School of Journalism, said that the building had been the same for decades and that the construction is part of a plan to expand the school's future opportunities, like broadcasting student newscasts outside of the university.

One big addition to the school, he said, is the new convergence center.
