Spartans painted the Motor City green earlier this month at the 2022 Michigan Emmy® Awards ceremony. The Michigan Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) presented statuettes in nine categories to representatives from ComArtSci and WKAR in recognition of their quality work. Many additional awards and nominations were given to other talented groups across campus — including three nominations for ComArtSci alumnus, Benjamin Owen, for his video work on Spartans All-Access.
