2025 Volunteer Awards — Bob Buday ’77 on the importance of Alumni Association membership

Описание: Bob Buday ’77, who along with WIlliam Guthlein ’77, received the 2025 Philip Philip Mitchell Alumni Service Award.

Business experts and Daily Collegian alumni, William and Bob stepped up and offered their time and acumen, for free, to conduct a study of College News Organizations’ best practices to help ensure survival of The Daily Collegian after the University eliminated all subsidies for the student newspaper.

Between collecting data, conducting interviews, and summarizing strategies, the duo spent considerable time and effort. They presented their finding last summer at We Are Weekend and have continued to stay in touch with the Daily Collegian Alumni Interest Group.

William and Bob’s unwavering dedication, strategic insight, and tireless volunteer efforts have provided The Daily Collegian with a roadmap for survival and long-term success. Their research has not only offered The Collegian a lifeline, but has also contributed invaluable knowledge to College News Organizations nationwide. Their work will resonate for years to come, ensuring that The Daily Collegian remains a vital institution for aspiring journalists and future business leaders alike.

Their work exemplifies the spirit of alumni service and demonstrates how sharing your passion and expertise can make a profound impact.
