In anticipation of the great Terry Williams


This guy right here is coming to visit our class today! Accordingly, Terry Williams is "President and Chief Operating Officer of the Keene Publishing Corp. and a great and generous friend of the UNH Journalism Program."

Williams was an environmental conservation major when he was in school. He somehow got into journalism, he's been around the world, and he's owned several publishing companies. So I guess my question for Mr. Williams is  why? What propelled him to study about the environment and then go into journalism?

Last night, I met a man named Tyler who had a double major in undergrad in economics and in journalism. Obviously it can happen. I just wonder how you go from Australia, to L.A., to Oregon and end up in New Hampshire. Nothing against New Hampshire -- it is my home -- I just wonder about how all the pieces fit together. And then again, maybe they don't. 

I'm just sort of wondering what he's going to come to talk to our class about. I hope it's not just about the business side of his life. I really want to know about his experiences. Then he can talk about his business and stuff. I know it's an entrepreneurial class, but it's a journalism class first and foremost.
