An award-winning alumna who works for CBS Sports covering major events all over the world as a TV director and producer will return to Penn State in mid-February for a free public session coordinated by the John Curley Center for Sports Journalism.
“A Conversation with Deb Gelman,” a moderated question-and-answer session, will be conducted at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 12 in Foster Auditorium of Paterno Library on the University Park campus.
