Arienne Muldrow, a graduate student at The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication has been named the 2016 Barrow Minority Doctoral Student Scholarship from the Communication Theory & Methodology group – a division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC).

The scholarship honors the late Professor Lionel C. Barrow, Jr., of Howard University, in recognition of his pioneering efforts in support of minority education in journalism and mass communication. The award is designed to aid doctoral students in journalism or mass communication programs to complete their dissertation research and academic studies. Applicants are  evaluated on the basis of each candidate’s capacity for making significant contributions to communication theory and methodology

The committee selected Muldrow based upon “strong demonstration of scholarly work, progress towards completing my dissertation, and potential to contribute further to the field of communication theory and methodology.”

“I could not be more proud,” writes Muldrow. “I wanted to give my letter writers a very special thanks.”

The scholarship includes a $2,000 award and a free one-year membership in the Communication Theory and Methodology Division (CT&M) of AEJMC. Muldrow will be presented with the award at the 2016 AEJMC Conference in Minneapolis, August 4-7, 2016.
