The Walter Lubars Prize in Advertising recognizes his contributions to the launch of AdLab and to the development of the advertising program. This year’s Lubars Prize recipient, Kelly Burk, is a graduate student in the creative track of the ad program. Natalia Bovkun, the Murray R. Yaeger Prize winner, is a COM sophomore. The Yaeger Prize is awarded to a student who has completed the COM 101-COM 201 course sequence. Dr. Yaeger, who created the COM 101 course, was a professor of broadcasting and film at Boston University, and the prize seeks to continue his legacy. Read about the Murray R.
