School of Communication 3rd Annual Awards Ceremony
May 8, 2019
On May 3, 2019, the School of Communication held its 3rd annual awards ceremony celebrating outstanding seniors and master’s students, honors students, and new Lambda Pi Eta inductees. This year was especially exciting as we introduced four new awards recognizing undergraduate and graduate students.
The first of these new awards was the STAR award. This award is given to undergraduate students who exhibit STAR behavior outside of just their coursework. The award is named after the STAR approach that faculty and staff of the School take in their work. STAR stands for Service, Teaching, Achieving your personal best, and Respect.
The other new awards are for graduate students in the Health & Strategic Communication master’s program. These awards are named after three of our incredible and devoted graduate program faculty; Dr. Jennifer Bevan (Outstanding Graduate Student), Dr. Michelle Miller-Day (Outstanding Graduate Student Research), and Dr. Jennifer Waldeck (Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistant).
Congratulations to all of our outstanding seniors, master’s students, and new Lambda Pi Eta members! We are so proud of all you have accomplished.
