University of Oregon - SOJC Hall of Achievement Tributes
Each year, Blue Couch has the honor of working with the University of Oregon's School of Journalism and Communication department to produce three tribute videos to commemorate the lifetime achievements of alumni. The past honorees for this award have included the likes of Ann Curry and Dan Wieden as well as many others extraordinary in their field.
This year, the award went to Glenn Cole '92, Steve O'Leary '69, and Ann Sullivan '42.
Glenn Cole received the inaugural Eric Allen Award for alumni under 40. Cole co-founded 72andSunny, a design and advertising company, after working as Creative Director at the advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy in Amsterdam. Eric Allen was the first dean of the School of Journalism.
Steve O'Leary is president of O'Leary and Partners Advertising and is a noted author and speaker about word-of-mouth advertising.
The late Ann Sullivan was a pioneer for women in journalism as one of the longest tenured reporters for The Oregonian.
The Hall of Achievement - the school's signature event - started in 1998 when members of the school's Journalism Advancement Council wanted to celebrate the history of the school and connect students with that history and with alumni.
This is an amazing tribute for each person that has been rightfully honored for their contributions to the field of Journalism and Communications. Blue Couch loves being a part of documenting each honoree and appreciates the inspiration we in turn receive every year in doing so.
Enjoy!

Every Penny Counts - The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
The LLS gave us a call and asked if we could feature one of their young Luekemia cancer survivors as part of an educational piece going out to schools in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. Of course, we jumped at the opportunity to be a part of such a worthwhile cause. This is the first part of what should be subsequent chapters in the years ahead as part of LLS's efforts to educate others.
