Georgia Southern University’s Multimedia Development Center won a Student Emmy Award for its “Wounded Eagle”video production at the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Southeast region awards ceremony on June 6 in Atlanta. The “Wounded Eagle” video was recorded, produced and edited by MDC students Allen Lincoln and James Braswell in cooperation with Georgia Southern University Marketing and Communications.

“We are very proud of the accomplishments of our students,” said Art Berger, director of the MDC. “The MDC draws students from many disciplines from all over the university: communication arts, psychology and information technology, just to name a few. The Emmy Award competition provides our students with an opportunity to compete for one of the top industry awards and carry that nomination with them throughout their career.”

Projects like “Wounded Eagle” give students at the MDC a great opportunity to learn and apply their craft. "It is an honor to be nominated for a Student Emmy®Award. I have to thank the military for teaching me the basics of videography, but Georgia Southern and Mr. Berger have given me the opportunity to better enhance my editing and videography techniques,” said Braswell.
