Once again this year, Park students and alumni took top honors at the American Advertising Federation's annual "Rising Star" and Most Promising Minority Student awards competition -- proof positive that Parkies are the best at what they do, in every category.

IMC Senior Peter Pasco was named among this year's Most Promising Minority Students; IMC Senior Hannah Moore made the Honor Roll for the award; and alum Joe Rockhill won the prestigious Rising Star Award, which recognizes"outstanding leadership and career success and a demonstrated passion for the advertising, marketing, media or public relations industries."

Congratulations to Joe, Peter and Hannah -- and to Professor Scott Hamula, director of the IMC program, and all of the other faculty whose hard work and dedication have contributed (once again) to their students' extraordinary success.
