Congratulations to the strat comm students who were inducted into Kappa Tau Alpha! These individuals were in the top 10% of their class and have show excellence in academic work during their time at Mizzou.

When we submitted the campaign plan book and video pitch for judging, I knew the team had done some great work, NSAC Faculty Advisor Holly Higginbotham said. The industry professionals who judged the District 9 competition agreed, telling the team that the campaign was agency-level work. To get that kind of feedback from industry professionals was so validating to the team and a great reward for the hours and hours of effort they put into the work.
