CQ instruction book

Karen Catone suggested Scholars pack a jacket or sweater for orientation, as the Freedom Forum building is kept cool. What was in alum Sean Jensen's suitcase? "Dick Thien's Bible," a compilation of writing and editing advice, tips on getting a job and collectable quotes. Jensen, sports reporter at the St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press, has kept -- and used -- the notebook since it was given to him at his own orientation in 1996. During the current orientation, Jensen (shown at right) teamed up with career coach Mary Ann Hogan to lead small-group discussions. And he and Antionette Taylor-Thomas, managing editor of the Lancaster (Ohio) Eagle-Gazette, talked about interviewing with reporting Scholars. Jensen was one of 10 alums who attended Summer orientation and contributed to the program.
