82nd annual Peabody Award winners announced

The Peabody Awards Board of Jurors has unveiled 30 programs representing the most compelling and empowering stories released in broadcasting and streaming media during 2021.

Of the 30 winners, PBS led with six, followed by HBO/HBO Max with four, Netflix with three, and Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and The New York Times each with two. Additional winning networks and platforms include ABC, FX, KUSA, NBC News, NPR, Peacock, Rumble Strip, and VICE.

Chosen unanimously by a board of 19 jurors, the Peabody 30 are the best of more than 1,200 entries submitted from television, streaming media, and podcasts/radio. 

New alumni celebrated

More than 400 spring and summer graduates were celebrated on Friday, May 13. 

The day started with the debut of a virtual ceremony featuring Eric Baker (ABJ '80) and Delaney Tarr (AB '22) and continued with a celebration on the lawn, including an opportunity for students to walk across a stage and be recognized for their accomplishments.  We are proud of our new alumni and look forward to seeing them achieve great things. 

Grady lawn renovation

When students return for fall semester, they will be welcomed to campus with an improved and expanded lawn upon which to study, socialize and relax. The transformation will take place thanks to a generous donation from the Schnitzer family, celebrating Lauren Schnitzer (AB ’21), who graduated last year with a bachelor’s degree in public relations.

The redesign will feature rolling grass hills, a new ADA accessible pathway and an outdoor classroom with seating, which will be accessible by way of a new staircase in place of the former gray wall.

We look forward to welcoming alumni back to our renovated space for Homecoming on Oct. 15.
