Advising team receives Savage Visual Communications Fellowship

Sunday, April 18, 2021 - 11:00am

The CoJMC advising team will receive the 2021 John Savage Visual Communications Fellowship from the Omaha Press Club and Omaha Press Club Foundation. The advising team includes Assistant Director of Advising Andrea Gaghagen, Academic Adviser Anne McConkey, Academic Adviser Karez Hassan and Academic Adviser Bridgett Grant.

The John Savage Visual Communications Fellowship is endowed by the family, colleagues and friends of John Savage, a pioneer Omaha World-Herald photojournalist and founder of the Omaha Press Club. The Fellowship provides a $2,000 award for visual communications initiatives that benefit students in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Journalism and Mass Communications.

The advising team was selected as the 2021 recipient for their proposal to work with the college’s student-run advertising agency, Jacht Agency, to develop educational videos about capstone courses in all the College of Journalism and Mass Communication majors. The videos will be used by academic advisers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to educate students about opportunities in the college and help them make better decisions to advance toward an undergraduate degree.

Selections for the John Savage Visual Communications Fellowship are made by the College of Journalism and Mass Communications Scholarship and Student Success Committee.
