Three CMU Students Finalists For National Radio Awards 2015 IBS award finalists Fayette, Mo. – Three students from Central Methodist University have been named as finalists for the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System (IBS) Awards, to be held March 6-8, 2015 in New York City. IBS receives thousands of entries each year from hundreds of universities throughout America, most much larger than CMU. To be nominated, one must be chosen among the top 10 percent of all entries from across the nation. This recognition shows all of the hard work and dedication that Central’s KCMU Eagle Radio students put forth and is a great honor, according to Dr. Kristin Cherry, assistant professor of communications at CMU. Dr. Cherry serves as the KCMU Eagle Radio faculty advisor. For “Best News Feature Story” Jonathon Schwab (sophomore communication studies major from Saint Charles) was selected for his story on Deforestation. For “Best Community News Coverage” Jamie Gisburne (sophomore communication studies major from Arlington, Texas) and Jonathon Schwab were nominated for their story on Ebola in our Schools.

Nick Ruffy (junior pre-major student from Lake Ozark) and Jordan Ayers (junior communications major from Boonville) are planning to attend this annual conference in New York to represent CMU.
