 "Bedrooms of the Fallen" Ashley Gilbertson Photographer with the VII Photo Agency, New York and Paris November 11 Ashley Gilbertson's imagery from Iraq, where he worked from 2002 until 2008 for the New York Times, earned him critical acclaim from, among others, the Overseas Press Club which awarded Gilbertson the prestigious Robert Capa Gold Medal for his 2004 work in Falluja. His first book, "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot," was released in 2007 and went on to become a best seller, reaching the Top 100 on Amazon. Since then, Gilbertson has been producing "Bedrooms Of The Fallen," a collection of photographs depicting the intact bedrooms of service members who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2009, a substantial part of "Bedrooms of the Fallen" was commissioned by "The New York Times Magazine" and published in March of 2010. The work was published in book form by The University of Chicago in 2014. Founded in 2001, the VII Photo Agency specializes in conflict photography. |
ESPN founder Bill Rasmussen to visit campus
Gaylord broadcast students and sports fans may want to mark their calendars for November 12, when the Campus Activities Council hosts one of the biggest names in broadcast history, ESPN founder Bill Rasmussen, at 6:30 p.m. in the Molly Shi Boren Ballroom at the Oklahoma Memorial Union. (Please note, this time has changed from the originally-reported time, and 6:30 p.m. has been confirmed as the final anticipated time for the event, according to the CAC.) In 1979, television changed forever when Rasmussen launched the first 24-hour TV network, ESPN. Since then, it has grown to include 10 networks under the ESPN banner and has spawned its own app and live streaming service, WatchESPN.
In addition to founding the network, Rasmussen also created "Sports Center" and "March Madness" in addition to initiating coverage of the College World Series. Named "The Father of Cable Sports" by USA Today, Rasmussen has been honored with numerous titles and awards for his contributions to TV and sports broadcast. In 1994, he was named in the "Sports Illustrated" article "Forty for the Ages" as one of 40 individuals who significantly altered the sporting world in the second half of the 1900s. Two years later, Rasmussen was also named to The Sports 100, honoring the 100 most important people in American Sports History.

|
The Outstanding Senior program, hosted by Sooner Parents, recognizes outstanding achievement in the following areas: scholarship, honors, awards, leadership and service to the university and community. The selection procedure for the Outstanding Senior in each college is at the discretion of each dean, but the All-Around Outstanding Senior Man and Senior Woman are selected by a committee comprised of faculty, staff and students. This year's Gaylord Outstanding Senior is Tahira Taqi, public relations senior and Chinese, international studies and psychology minor. Taqi serves as a Gaylord Ambassador, an account coordinator at Lindsey+Asp and as a consultant for the Oklahoma Group.
After a few years of work, Taqi hopes to eventually obtain her MBA to start her own non-profit to help women and children have the opportunity for a decent education.
