S'Park Media Mentor Award

The Roy H. Park School of Communications established the S’Park Media Mentor Award to recognize high school teachers and advisers who are committed to igniting a passion for media in their students.  After a nationwide search, five high school media specialists were selected as S’Park Media Mentor Award winners. Not only have these teachers and advisers served as tremendous mentors to their students, but they also have made phenomenal contributions in their personal careers to the field of media.
