The class of 2024 consists of 35 students across the School of Communications’ six undergraduate majors.
With undergraduate classes set to begin on Aug. 19, the School of Communications welcomes its newest class of Communications Fellows to campus. This group includes an ambitious set of students, featuring student journalists, photographers and athletes, as well as stage actors and actresses and philanthropists.
Thirty-plus Fellows are selected each year based on high school academic performance, involvement in communications-related activities, interviews and essays. This special program involves a media tour to Atlanta, a Global Study grant, a Winter Term course in Florida studying media and communications, and a capstone project. In addition to program benefits, all Fellows receive a $5,500 annual scholarship plus a one-time $1,000 global study grant to be used for a university approved study abroad or Study USA experience.
The first-year Communications Fellows are pursuing majors in cinema and television arts, communication design, journalism, media analytics, sport management and strategic communications.
This year’s cohort is complete with 35 students hailing from 12 different states, with North Carolina leading the way with eight students, followed by Florida, New Jersey and Maryland with three each.
