KBIA and the Missouri School of Journalism lost a treasured alumna recently in Aviva Okeson-Haberman.
She was a talented journalism student, a dogged reporter and a shining beacon for the future of the profession. But she was also a quiet, compassionate, and thoughtful colleague and friend with a warm smile. Those are just a few words used by those who were lucky enough to cross paths with her or have a relationship with her during her young 24 years.
In this audio piece, classmates, colleagues, professors and friends remember our comrade.
