SAA Lunch with a Bunch ft. Lorie Acio
The SAA is excited to host our Lunch with a Bunch event featuring Lorie Acio, the Vice President of Communications for MSNBC in New York City. Lunch with a Bunch is a networking program designed by the Student Alumni Association to bring motivated students and successful alumni together. Develop connections, confidence, and ideas about future opportunities with Acio and fellow SAA members. Our first Lunch with a Bunch event has ten spots available.
Who is Lorie Acio?
Lorie Acio is our 2025 Outstanding Young Alumni Award recipient! Acio graduated from the University of Oregon and Clark Honors College with an electronic media degree from the School of Journalism and Communication. She worked with both written and on-air journalism on campus, building her skills behind and in front of the camera. As a junior, Acio interned at the KATU ABC 2 channel in Portland, an experience that opened her eyes to the opportunities and excitement of professional news. A CBS News recruiter came to the UO campus during Acio’s senior year, and one of her professors recommended they meet. Now, she has taken on a leadership role, overseeing communications for NBCUniversal News Group’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in addition to overseeing MSNBC’s press strategy.
