This has been Marcus' semester!!!

Marcus has been working so hard this semester with school, work, and the Bradley Lab. I posted awhile back about how he's been writing for BYU's newspaper, The Daily Universe, for one of his classes. It has taken countless hours, and he is so excited that he only has one article left (his final project). Even though it probably wasn't the highlight of his semester, he did a fantastic job. And I'm not the only one who thinks that...

That's right, Marcus won an award for being the Best Overall Reporter for the Metro Desk this semester -- What a stud! (Thank goodness he found PR after months and months of searching for a major!)

If you ask him about it, he'll probably laugh and say that the class should have been worth way more credits than it was. I counted 26 stories that he's had published this semester, which is amazing! He wrote about almost everything, from parking to the Death Penalty, Veterans' Day to Prop 8, and illegal immigration to food aid. You can find all of them at the Daily Universe website: universe.byu.edu

I asked him what his favorite articles was, and it was his interview with Utah's Senate candidates. It's the front page story that day, so if you're interested, follow this link to the pdf of the paper from that day:
