COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Rising senior Emily Schweich has been awarded a $2500 Chesapeake AP Broadcasters Association scholarship.
She will receive the scholarship check during the CAPBA annual convention in Ocean City June 5-7. The presentation will be made at the AP awards dinner that Saturday.
A past president of the SPJ student chapter at the Merrill College and Diamondback multimedia reporter, Schweich is interning this summer at the NBC DC Bureau this summer. A long-time Capital News Service volunteer, she will go in front of the camera this fall as part of Sue Kopen Katcef’s CNS Broadcast Bureau at UMTV.
Emily has had a love for storytelling from an early age. She says her ultimate goal is to “become a news anchor and give a voice to the voiceless through journalism, focusing special attention to issues impacting women, such as gender-based violence and poverty and fair treatment in the workplace.”
