Tim Russert Has Died

I think it is worth noting that Russert graduated from John Carroll University in Cleveland, not quite a household name. Russert was very proud of the education he received there and was an active alumnus. So even in fields like politics and media, two that usually require that people make use of connections to climb the ladder, it’s possible to be hardworking and smart and make it to the top without the benefits of an Ivy League diploma.

<p>Very good point! Especially for this message board community where many seem to be highly focused on a college’s name recognition and prestige. Tim Russert was a great example of a college experience being what a student, him/herself, makes of it.</p>
