Joel Whited Wins First Place in Intercollegiate Broadcasting Competition

2014 Mar 17

Joel Whited was one of three Bob Jones University students who were recently awarded First Place for their Public Service Campaign at the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System's 74th Annual International School/College Radio/Webcast Conference awards ceremony held March 8 in New York City.

Whited, a sophomore journalism and mass communication major from Lima, helped lead a public service campaign titled "Saving Lives Together," which united three local universities--BJU, Furman, and North Greenville--as they collected nearly 1,500 units of blood for the local Greenville community through The Blood Connection last fall.

The contest received more than 800 media entries in 20 categories from some of the top colleges and universities in the nation.
