J Days April 2-5
It's time to nominate your peers, colleagues and fellow CoJMC graduates for the annual Alumni Awards of Excellence. All awards will be presented during the J Days celebration April 2-5, 2012.
As J school graduates and successful professionals, you have expert insight on potential nominees. The CoJMC presents awards to outstanding advertising and public relations, broadcasting, and news-editorial alumni. Additional awards are in the category of service to the profession by a non-alumnus, Dean's Award and the Broadcast Pioneer Award. All honorees must accept the award in person.
The presentation of the Alumni Awards of Excellence will be held during a luncheon Monday, April 2, 2012. Please submit nominations by Monday, January 30, 2012. Nominations may be submitted online.
J Days began in the 1980s as a celebration of the successes of students and alumni. The weeklong festivities include a journalism honors convocation and the induction of scholars into the journalism honor society. In addition, it provides an opportunity for students to network with alumni and journalism professionals.
