WASHINGTON, DC, 20 April 2015 — American University communication Ph.D. student Kara Andrade and graduating journalism major Julia Boccagno have been named 2015 recipients of the Pulitzer Center Campus Consortium International Reporting Student Fellowships.

We all have worked very hard for this day. We are proud of this joint venture with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, and we’re excited about the students’ work that will come out of this venture.
