'Intern Steph' Receives Award

BRADFORD, Pa. – Two students from the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford have received the James D. Guelfi Award in Communications for their work in broadcast communication and public relations.

This year’s recipients are Alex Davis, a sophomore public relations major from Emporium, and Stephanie Petchel, a senior broadcast communication major from Beaver Meadows. They were honored at a reception held last month

Davis was nominated for the public relations award by Tim Ziaukas, associate professor of public relations, for his work with The Source as editor.

“Alex has brought a professionalism and a commitment to his work on the school newspaper that has begun a transformation of The Source. He is a great editor, a leader and a worthy Guelfi scholar,” Ziaukas said.

Jeff Guterman, chairman of the Division of Communication and the Arts and director of the broadcast communications program, selected Petchel for her excellent senior leadership and scholarship in the communications program.

“Stephanie is an outstanding student who is already making her mark in the broadcasting profession,” said Guterman. “Her voiceover work can be heard throughout the region in radio commercials and other programs. She loves working in radio, and it certainly shows.”

The James D. Guelfi Award in Communications was established in 2002 to honor Guelfi, a Bradford community leader, a champion of the arts and a friend of the university.
