It is not every day that your work gets recognized internationally, but for four Kent State University digital media production students and alumni, their work has earned them a spot in the Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF).
What started as a goal after attending a film festival has turned into national recognition for Kent State University digital media production senior Saida Lewis. She recently won an award at the National Film Festival for Talented Youth for her original pilot episode, bringing her creative vision to a national stage.
For five Kent State students, the classroom recently transformed into a high-stakes public relations agency boardroom. Their efforts caught the attention of the industry’s top judges, earning the team a prestigious honorable mention in the 2026 Public Relations Student Society of America Bateman Case Study Competition.
For most of her life, Kent State junior visual communication design major Jasmine McCulley, has built her identity around community, the arts and competition, whether through The Touch of Gold Twirlers or competitive baton twirling. Sixteen years after she first picked up a baton, she will represent Team USA this August in Paris at the IBTF World Competition.
