Eight years ago, a team of Baylor journalism students\u00a0covered the presidential inauguration live<\/a> in Washington, D.C. This week, seven more Baylor students are enjoying the same experience — thanks in part to a group of\u00a0D.C.-area alumni.<\/p>\n The team of seven students includes five Lariat<\/em> staff members (editor-in-chief Gavin Pugh, digital managing editor Didi Martinez, broadcast managing editor Jessica Babb, staff writer Kalyn Story, and photo editor Liesje Powers) and two\u00a0Baylor Round Up<\/em> editors (editor-in-chief Hannah Neumann and\u00a0photo editor Erica Thorpe). Two of the seven, Babb and Martinez,\u00a0are already familiar with D.C. from their time in Baylor’s Semester in Washington program<\/a>.<\/p>\n During their stay, the students will be hosted by three Baylor alumni living in the area: Lisa Hanna, owner of a Washington public relations firm;\u00a0Ashley Morris, a D.C.-area realtor; and\u00a0Charles Poe, a\u00a0senior vice president for production for the Smithsonian Channel. This generosity from the Baylor family will save the students (and the university) the craziness and expense of\u00a0finding a hotel during the weekend of the inauguration.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to covering the event\u00a0for the Lariat<\/em> newspaper<\/a> and Round Up<\/em> yearbook<\/a>, the students will also be producing video content that will air locally as part of Lariat TV News segments on\u00a0the WCCC-TV College Channel.
