Video victory

Loyola students Chris Davis and Jamie McArthur were recently named winners of the “Why Chicago” video contest sponsored by the Chicago 2016 Olympic Committee.  “Why Chicago” asked participants to produce videos that show why the city of Chicago should be chosen to host the 2016 Olympics and Paralympic Games.

Davis’s and McArthur’s video received the highest number of online votes. As the winners, the students were interviewed by Zoraida Sambolin on WMAQ-TV’s NBC 5 News Today, and they will also travel to Vancouver for a behind-thescenes tour of preparations for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
