MSPR student awards announced
Morehead State Public Radio (MSPR) provides opportunities for students to gain career skills and experience. MSPR is honoring two of those students with awards.
Clay Wallace, a senior convergent media major from Frankfort, is the recipient of the 2023 MSPR Outstanding Student Award and Karina Gonzalez, a senior from Mt. Sterling double-majoring in Spanish and Biomedical Sciences, is the recipient of the 2023 Community Advisory Board (CAB) Student Leadership Award.
The Outstanding Student Award is presented annually to an intern, work-study or volunteer student who worked at MSPR during the past year (2022). Selected by the MSPR staff, the recipient is chosen based on leadership, dependability, initiative, and personal development while performing quality work and an overall commitment to MSPR.
