Ashley Holbert is this year’s department Kappa Tau Alpha Top Scholar. KTA is the leading honor society for schools and departments of mass communication. According to department chair Dr. Reel this award is based on grade-point average, and that such a high GPA in this demanding department is a testament to her hard work and intelligence. Ashley will receive a plaque from KTA commemorating this honor, along with an honor cord and medallion, and her name will also be inscribed on one of the permanent plaques that hang in Johnson Hall. One of her professors said: "What a delight -- Loves learning! Has great curiosity and has contributed so much to MCOM 302 International Communication class -- always ready to share her knowledge -- always going above and beyond." We congratulate Ashley on her accomplishments and look forward to what we will see from her in the future! #MCOMAwards #MCOMRecognition #GrowInTheField
