Electronic Media Broadcasting (EMB) students, Kyler Winters and Ashley Kuberski, were recognized as winners at the 2023 Michigan Student Broadcast Awards for their Public Service Announcement entries.
Winters won first place for his PSA about the dangers of texting and driving, titled “Don’t Text and Drive.”
Kuberski won second place for her PSA regarding the dangers of vaping, “Is it worth it?”

In total there were 540 entries from 43 high schools and colleges. Delta College was the only community college to place in the “College Visual” category.
Both entries were initially completed as part of a class assignment in Media Production 1 with Associate Professor of Electronic Media Kimberly Wells.
“I’m very proud of Ashley and Kyler,” Wells shared. “They both worked very hard on their PSA projects and deserve this recognition. Each PSA was created from the ground up – they developed the concept, wrote the script, storyboards, shot the video, and edited the piece together. They are both talented students and I have no doubt they will have successful media careers.
