鈥淲e at the Newhouse School are excited to celebrate the opening of our new studio facilities, which have been two years in the making,鈥 says Dean Lorraine Branham. 鈥淲e wanted to include as many people as possible in our celebration, but there were only so many tickets to go around. I know there are going to be some disappointed people who didn鈥檛 get a ticket, but I hope they can join us at one of the day鈥檚 other exciting events.鈥
The dedication event will be followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 1:45 p.m. at the Waverly Avenue entrance to Newhouse 2, which Winfrey will attend. The ceremony is open to the public. An open house will follow.
In addition, two symposia will be held in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium in Newhouse 3: 鈥淭he Future of Digital Media鈥 at 9 a.m. and 鈥淒ick Clark: A Discussion about a Great American Broadcaster鈥 at 3 p.m.
The Newhouse Studio and Innovation Center is the result of an $18 million renovation of Newhouse 2. The new space will feature Dick Clark Studios and the Alan Gerry Center for Media Innovation.
