Photo Gallery: Newhouse Advanced Media Management Students Explore Cutting-Edge Innovations at Global Tech Show in Las Vegas
Last month, six students from the Newhouse School’s advanced media management (AMM) program traveled to Las Vegas to attend CES, the largest tech and media trade show in the world. As fellows for AMM, the students worked with Advanced Media Professor in Residence Shelly Palmer, a leading voice in the tech industry, to research exhibitors throughout the fall semester.
At the show, they assisted Palmer during his industry client tours and gained valuable insight from his interviews with X CEO Linda Yaccarino, Mark Cuban and other influential media executives. The fellows — Grace DeBoer, Sydney Hvizdvzak, Laura Knaflewski, Aiden Kwen, Niara McIntyre and J.K. Rees — were led by program director Adam Peruta. During their time in Vegas, the students also connected with Newhouse and Syracuse University alumni and other industry professionals at networking events.
