🏆 Best Social Media Campaign (and this wasn’t a student category, but competing against professionals) for Falcon Media Sports Network’s Falcon Four series led by students Lucas Kleimeyer and Tyler Kavalecz

🎓 Graduate student (and BG24 newcast executive producer) Allyson Ritchey received the Bernard F. Judy Scholarship
