ESU’s National Broadcasting Society wins Awards at National Convention

It took one day for the National Broadcasting Society (NBS) at East Stroudsburg University to film two videos that received national awards. Students traveled to Burbank, Calif., for the National Broadcasting National Convention and entered a competition titled On the Spot Challenge, which included a series of different contests.

The rules of the competition were simple: participants could not start before arriving in California, they had to use only equipment they had on hand, and they only had a couple of days to film. ESU’s NBS earned first place in one of the challenges, which tasked students to create an appealing video for Instagram. The organization also came in second in a challenge where they were directed to film a promotional video for their student organization.

“Winning the competition just shows what a great opportunity I had to get involved with NBS,” Amanda Bongiovi, a senior majoring in business management from South River, N.J., who is also president of NBS, said. “When I first joined in the fall of 2014, I would have never imagined becoming president of the chapter, and it has been one of the best experiences I’ve had.”

This was the first time ESU’s NBS won in the competition since 2013.

“This is an amazing chapter full opportunities for the future,” Vincent Gervasi, a freshman majoring in communication studies from Phoenixville, Pa., who is also the communications coordinator for NBS, said. “It helps students build the skills we need to be successful in our careers.”
