Four University of Nebraska–Lincoln teams won Paper Anvil Awards from the Nebraska chapter of the Public Relations Society of America on Dec. 2.
The 2022 Bateman team won best of show in the student category along with an award of excellence. Jacht, a full-service, student-led advertising agency in the College of Journalism and Mass Communications, won three awards of merit.
“I’m so proud of these students — they show up, they work hard, and they have great attitudes,” said Jemalyn Griffin, Jacht’s executive director. “It’s a privilege getting to see them develop into true leaders and get awarded for their work.”
The following Husker students and recent graduates earned Paper Anvil Awards. They are listed with their year in school or graduation date, major(s) and hometown.
