Sponsored by Friends of the Daily Texan, the event will include showing of a trailer of  a documentary film now under production celebrating The Texan’s 125 years.

Eight Daily Texan Hall of Fame honorees and 3 new Rising Stars will be honored at the event.

In addition scholarship grants from the Friends group and donors will be presented to 13 Daily Texan staffers, and senior Daily Texan editors will update attendees on work by Texan student  journalists.

One important announcement: due to the rainy forecast for Friday, the reception prior to the Hall of Fame event will be in the G.B. Dealey Center for New Media at 300 West Dean Keeton St.

Reception begins at the same time – 5 p.m. – and the event begins at 7:15 p.m.

For those who have attended before, this is where the actual presentation and Hall of Fame event is held.

The reception area is just a few steps away from the auditorium where the event occurs.

Guests will enter on the first floor, with the main entrance facing Dean Keeton through doors closer to the east side / Whitis Avenue. Registration with name tags will be set up as people enter the building.

The reception area will be on the first floor of the Dealey Center, and main food and drink tables will be in that area.  There will also be cocktail tables on both first and second floors.
