Thanks Dean Li!

I was so pleased to accept the top video journalism award from Associate Dean Denise Li last Wednesday evening.
It's called the Tropaia Award and is designed to recognize a graduating student for their GPA, capstone work and service to the program.
Katie Balestra won, in part, for her articles in the Washington Post. I won, in part, for the video profile I did on Jim Hummel that appears on this blog.
I had to look up the word "Tropaia" and here is how the university describes it:
The word “tropaia” is ancient Greek and refers to a monument constructed to celebrate a military victory. Today, trophies awarded for excellence may draw close comparisons to the ancient structures. Each year students, faculty and some alumni are recognized for their academic excellence and outstanding achievement during the tropaia ceremonies.
Thank you to the decision makers in the School of Continuing Studies for this recognition of my work. I'm honored to be one of this year's recipients.
