(MURFREESBORO)—Calley Stroud of Murfreesboro garnered two awards during the 13th Annual Student Awards Ceremony sponsored by MTSU’s College of Mass Communication on April 25.
A senior majoring in public relations, Stroud garnered the Dean’s Academic Award for Excellence Scholarship from the School of Journalism at MTSU. Stroud currently has an overall grade-point average of 3.5.
In addition, she was the inaugural recipient of the Lisa L. Rollins Journalism Scholarship, an award that is presented annually to an exceptional journalism major who also is a single parent.
A 1989 graduate of Raleigh Egypt High School in Memphis, Stroud said she began her undergraduate studies at MTSU in 2001 as the single parent of three children.
“At that time, I was timid bout starting over as a single mother with three small children,” she said. “ However, “Due to the wonderful support from MTSU, as well as many friends and family members, I’m now more self-confident than ever.”
Stroud is the daughter of Connie Bowden of Hohenwald, Tenn.
