The Tom Hope Memorial Media Scholar Program, “offers recognition, encouragement, a Professional Portfolio Review, and a cash stipend to an outstanding student studying in a media communication-related program at each of the Rochester area colleges.”
Hunter Wright, in his senior year at SUNY Brockport, from Hilton, NY, was one of seven Rochester-area students to participate in the Tom Hope Memorial Media Scholar Portfolio Review. During the event, media professionals evaluate and offer feedback on portfolios of outstanding students nominated by their faculty. Under Wright’s leadership at 89.1 the Point, the station has won four state awards and one national award.
