J-School Professor Rachel Mourão, Ph.D. earned a second-place award in the International Communication Division / AEJMC 2020 Teaching Contest.
The work Mourao was recognized for came out of a partnership between the J-School and the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Brazil. According to Mourao’s Infogram page, the Michigan-Brazil Multimedia program is a grant-funded online and hands-on workshop designed to strengthen Brazil’s media and technical capabilities on all stages of producing news via broadcast and digital reporting. Mourão, along with J-School professors Judy Walgren, Bob Gould and Mike Castellucci, conducted a workshop in Brazil in the summer of 2019.
The award was given for its innovation, contribution to international communication, connection with learning objectives, and impact and learning outcomes.
