BLOOMINGTON, Indiana — The Media School at Indiana University in Bloomington is pleased to announce two new cohorts of honors students who will enroll at the school this fall.
Fifteen Ernie Pyle Scholars will pursue a bachelor of arts in journalism, while 17 Media Scholars will pursue either a bachelor of arts in media or a bachelor of science in game design.
The Class of 2022 marks the 12th year for the Ernie Pyle Scholars, whose alumni work at some of the country’s leading journalism, public relations and other media organizations.
The remaining students form the first class of Media Scholars, a new program created to offer expanded academic and professional opportunities to students pursuing studies focused on media in all its forms, including advertising, film, communication science and game design.
“We are delighted to welcome such an impressive group of promising young honors students to the Media School for fall 2018,” said Media School dean James Shanahan. “These new Ernie Pyle Scholars will build on the impressive reputation of that well-regarded program. And we know that this inaugural cohort of Media Scholars will help establish a strong foundation for the future of that new program. We are eager to support all these impressive young people in the many successes that no doubt lie ahead during their time at Indiana University.”
Students selected for the Ernie Pyle Scholars or Media Scholars honors programs are directly admitted into their major in The Media School and are eligible to enroll in up to six special honors courses. They travel as a group locally, nationally and internationally with their faculty mentor, who advises them during their four years at The Media School.
The mentors for the Class of 2022 scholars are Dave Groobert, Ernie Pyle Scholars, and Susan Kelly, Media Scholars.
