Letters of gratitude addressed to Mr. Milton Coleman, Mr. Mark Matthews, and to the Devroy Scholarship Committee should be submitted directly to the Department of Communication and Journalism program assistant. The winner of this award is expected to be present at the annual Ann Devroy Memorial Forum held in late April unless the CJ Department chair excuses him or her for an unavoidable absence, such as studying abroad or in National Student Exchange. The recipient is also expected to attend the Communication and Journalism Student Excellence Recognition Reception held the last day of spring classes.
