In this episode of News Beat: From OU Daily, news editor Peggy Dodd and reporter Megan Pratt review this week's headlines, including the election of president and vice president of the Student Government Association and what OU community members are saying about the decision to merge commencement ceremonies.

News Beat from OU Daily, a weekly podcast featuring the week’s headlines from the news and culture desks about the city and campus, will release episodes on Friday mornings. While the weekly episode will range from 8 to 15 minutes, News Beat will release longer, special editions before OU Daily’s print publications launch. Those episodes will feature Daily reporters and editors discussing the stories included in the most recent edition of OU Daily Magazine and other guides.
