Friends and family of Professor Emeritus Jim Hoyt met Friday in Vilas Hall to dedicate room 2195 to him after his years of dedication to UW-Madison.
Hoyt was a journalism professor from 1973 to 2002 and director of the School of Journalism from 1981 to 1991. Hoyt himself attended UW-Madison and wrote for The Daily Cardinal.
The classroom went under recent renovations, including a state-of-the-art multimedia system.
