"Each of our seven outstanding seniors represents
the best and brightest in the School of Journalism and
Mass Communications, College of Mass Communications
and Information Studies and the University of South
Carolina.
We are especially proud of their individual accomplishments
that they credit in part to the strength of the SJMC
faculty and the excellent instruction they received
in each sequence--advertising and public relations,
electronic and print journalism, and visual communications.
For example, Adam Beam and Justin Chappell praise
the instruction they received from their magazine article
writing class with Professor Ernie Wiggins. Jessica
Boulware cites her design classes with Professors Farrand,
Kenney and Kornegay. Erin Colgan and Karen Zatkulak
both laud the broadcast senior semester experience as
their most beneficial class. Erin Nelson points to the
significance of her 2004 Bateman team experience. Danielle
Washington found the advertising campaigns class more
than a capstone experience but also a great career launch.
I salute each of the winners who serve as role models
for current and future students, and embody one of the
School's proudest traditions--producing and placing
outstanding graduates in the journalism and mass communication
field or graduate and professional schools."
