Erin Colgan, a student in the electronic journalism sequence of the School of Journalism and Mass Communications, has been selected by the Radio Television News Directors Foundation as the John Hogan Undergraduate Scholar for 2003-2004.
Colgan, a junior from Hendersonville, N.C., will receive a $1,000 stipend for the upcoming academic year and complimentary registration to the Radio Television News Directors Association Conference in April in Las Vegas.
She is one of 14 undergraduate students from around the country who will attend the conference and learn about the issues that confront electronic journalists. The workshops, conducted by the association and the Poynter Institute for Media Studies are designed to mold students into tomorrow's leaders in the electronic news profession.
Colgan’s selection marks the second year in a row that a student from USC has won a foundation scholarship. Addie Bradshaw, a senior from Lincolnton, N.C., was awarded the Theodore Koop scholarship last year.
