A bit of personal news: today I was given the Charles Forrest Alexander Award for Journalism, which is awarded each year to a Vanderbilt student for achievement in student media. This came with a ceremony in Kirkland, a framed certificate, a sizeable check, and a permanent spot on a plaque in Sarratt Student Center. Much to my surprise, the award presentation included a mention of my semester spent sleeping on a slanted bed along with my more relevant activities. My thanks to Vanderbilt Student Communications; it was a very nice way to cap the three years I spent with the media here.

Congrats Jacob!
Congratulations Jacob, it’s well deserved!
Congratulations!
Very nice Mr. Grier. I’m still hoping they’re going to see the light and award it to me post-humously for 02-03.
Nice! Congratulations Jacob.
