Murray State student Katie DeCillo will be one of the approximately four million people to travel to Washington, D.C., for President-elect Barack Obama's Inauguration on Jan. 20. DeCillo, a sophomore electronic media major from Murray, along with Shasta O'Neal from MSU's Broadcast Media Services office will take in the sights and sounds of the nation's capitol during this special time. DeCillo and O'Neal will blend the inauguration of the United States' first African American president with the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial and and the birthday of President George Washington. The duo will work together to post daily video blogs from DeCillo focusing on the experience of being in Washington while history is being made. The two are set to attend the Kentucky on the Potomac party and the Bluegrass Ball where they will mingle with politicians and other Kentucky notables. Key stops may include the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. Watch the MSU homepage for "Murray State University Goes to the Inauguration" postings. WPSD-TV in Paducah, Ky., and KFVS-TV in Cape Girardeau, Mo., also plan to use DeCillo's blog in part of their inauguration coverage.
