A Daughter of USF Comes Home to the Bay Area

And now Vicky Nguyen is back, working the 3 a.m. - 11 a.m. shift at NBC11. Here's a link from her, one of her first stories in the new job.

I tell my reporting students you don't need a 4.0 to become a good journalist. As Vicky's career shows, sometimes a 3.95 is good enough.

(Actually, some very good journalists earned not-so-good grades as undergrads. Any opinions on the correlation, people?)
