We all enjoyed Jeff Angileri’s remarkable commencement address in December and I will be showing some clips of it at tomorrow’s State of the University Address. Jeff left a strong legacy during his time at UW-Whitewater through his senior project, a video history of UW-Whitewater. I received a note from him a few days ago that will interest many of you:
Chancellor Saunders,
I hope this letter finds you well. Driving past the university last week, I was amazed to see the state of construction encompassing the James R. Connor University Center. The finished building and grounds should be absolutely spectacular.
I bring good news. After a long summer, I’ll be starting my first job this September. In fact, I’m in the process of moving to Rhinelander, WI, where I’ve been hired as anchor and producer of the morning news program at NBC 12. It should prove to be an exciting and wonderful challenge. We’re expanding to a two-hour news show, with local cut-ins during the Today Show. The Northwoods are breathtaking, even more so than the Kettle Moraine. There are lakes, rivers, and forests as far as the eye can see. And the people are so nice. If you happen to be in the area, please drop me a line so we can visit.
I’ve been thinking about the invaluable experience I gained at UW-Whitewater with UWW-TV News. I know it helped me land my first job. Also, I received copies of the finished graduation DVD, and the History DVD. I’m so glad to have two of my proudest accomplishments to remember forever. Unfortunately, my university e-mail expires soon, so I’ll send you my new e-mail address once I get one.
Best of luck in the new school year,
Jeff Angileri
Class of 2006
