CMU Students Sweep MSTA Radio Honors

2014 Apr 28

The only way Central Methodist University students could have fared better in the annual Missouri State Teachers Association Media Awards contest would be if there were more categories of competition.

The MSTA Communication Awards committee recently announced results of its contest, and of the five competitions in the radio category, CMU swept them all. The competition recognizes outstanding coverage of education and education issues by Missouri media.

Nick Ruffy, a Undeclared major from Lake Ozark, won for his work on Bullying, which won the Series category.

Dr. Kristin Cherry, assistant professor of communication, serves as faculty advisor for Eagle Radio. The station airs via the internet and can be accessed through the CMU Eagle Radio website.

The awards will be formally presented at MSTA regional meetings next fall.
