Djinis leads a rousing talk on journalism, classics, and life as a Falcon

On Wednesday, March 7, there was an engaging brown bag lunch, featuring alumna Elizabeth Djinis, who graduated in 2012. 

Djinis is a feature writer for the Sarasota Herald Tribune, and she shared her high school, college, and career experiences with a large group of Falcons during lunchtime yesterday.

The lunch was led by Mrs. McFeeley, the Alumni Director, and the meal featured a wonderful Q&A session with about 25 attendees.

Mr. Moore and Mr. Hoonhout sat in on the discussion.

Djinis attended Duke University and majored in classics, classical language, linguistics & literature. A large group of the attendees were interested in this aspect of her discussion.

Elizabeth’s primary discussion, however, centered on journalism. She is a journalist & reporter for the Herald Tribune in Sarasota, covering a variety of features, breaking news, and local government happenings.  She shared some tips of the trade with Falcon writers and journalists. 

Brown Bag lunches are a thing now, with new visitors coming each month or so; don’t miss the next one!

Djinis talked to the Gauntlet staff about the ins and outs of journalism
