Newhouse sophomore receives Devesty-Williams scholarship from Syracuse Press Club

Shannon Kirkpatrick, a sophomore studying graphic design, was announced as the winner of the Devesty-Williams scholarship from the Syracuse Press Club yesterday.

The scholarship, which provides $2,000 to an undergraduate journalism student each year, is based on academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, work experience, a personal philosophy statement, media samples and professional references. Four of the last five Devesty-Williams scholarship recipients have been Newhouse students.

Congratulations, Shannon!
