Three 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 - Fort Smith students took home awards at the South Central
Broadcasting Society鈥檚 fall 2013 competition held at the Texas Association of Broadcasters
in Austin, Texas.
Ruben Silva of Van Buren won first place in the PSA video category for 鈥淎rkansas Human Trafficking,鈥� and he teamed up with fellow 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 students Brad Carney of Rogers and James Woodard of Lamar to produce the 鈥淩alph Irwin Documentary,鈥� which placed second in the long video format category.
The students, all of whom are media communication majors, created the films in classes taught by Dr. Susan Simkowski of Fort Smith, an assistant professor of communication at 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播. The PSA video was a product of Simkowski鈥檚 basic production course, and the documentary was a result of her digital media class.
Simkowski said she is 鈥渧ery proud鈥� of the students.
鈥淲e are excited to see our students get the recognition they deserve,鈥� she said. 鈥淲inning awards like this reflects well not only on the communication department, but on the University as a whole.鈥�
The awards mark the continued rise of the communication program, which is now the second largest program in the College of Languages and Communication. Nearly 80 students now major in the field of study, which 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 began offering in 2011.
Carney, Silva and Woodward were the first 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 students to place in the competition since 2011, when Nick Kyrouac and Aaron Hodges won first place in the video promo category with 鈥溝愀哿喜士苯峁殖≈辈� Media Communication Promo.鈥�
Simkowski said the department eagerly anticipates next year鈥檚 competition, which will be held in Fayetteville.
鈥淧lacing in competitions like this demonstrates the diverse talents of the students in our program,鈥� Simkowski said. 鈥淲e look forward to future competitions, as it gives us an opportunity to show off our program and what our students are capable of.鈥�
