Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Pepperdine University Entry Title: A Journalist & A Survivor Reflect on the Inner Workings of A Sexual Assault Investigation Entry Credit: Lindsey Sullivan Judge Comment: It was a tough call to place this at second because this was a impactful piece. The audio mixing was great and Lindsey did a great job with her voice over. I'm glad this podcast brought light to such a sensitive but important topic. Hopefully it will bring positive change on your campus.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: California Lutheran University Entry Title: The Future of the Oxford Study Abroad Program Entry Credit: Isabella Breda, Serena Zuniga Judge Comment: Great information piece about the oxford program at Cal Lutheran. The back and forth between the two students was great, but I think adding in some audio cuts from some of professors who will be leading the program forward would have added more depth.
