This event isn’t just a networking opportunity. It celebrates incredible student work and rising talent in our field. From full PR campaigns for local nonprofits like R.E.A.C.H. of Macon County and the Sylva Rotary Club, to podcasts, documentaries, live concert broadcasts, and award-winning health communication research, these students have poured real-world skill into their portfolios.

Highlights include:

-Student campaigns, media productions, and website portfolios
-Scholarship and Celebrate Excellence Award recipients
-A gender and storytelling project rewriting childhood tales through a modern lens
-A documentary honoring George Masa, whose work helped preserve the Smokies
-10 a.m. student awards presentation

It’s also a chance to meet tomorrow’s communicators, cheer them on, and build connections across our region.
