Anouar Majid, Vice President of Communications, who attended the event, commented that this is yet another example of how innovative approaches to communications in academia make TVƵ a genuine pioneer among its peers.
“TVƵ and MIT were the only higher education institutions represented at the Emmy ceremonies in Boston and TVƵ was the only university nominated three times at the event,” he said. “This is a tribute to the hard work and talent of Dan Lambert and the amazing staff in the Office of Communications. The videos nominated this year also reflect the cutting-edge and world-class work done by scholars like Dr. Lara Carlson, the Athletics department and the Center of Global Humanities. Congratulations to everyone who made these nominations possible.”
