So excited that our team and the UESS Communications staff had the opportunity to celebrate and be part of the AMA Lincoln Prism Awards last Thursday! It was a wonderful evening recognizing the creativity, hard work, and career success happening throughout our marketing community. 💎

We were especially proud to see “Cornelius”, UNL's student success chatbot, receive the AMA Prism Award for Product Launch, as well as a Sterling Award for In-Person Event. This project was a collaborative effort across UESS, with Lydia Coulson leading the development, creation, and strategy, and our graphic design intern, Sammy Konecky, bringing the chatbot character to life as a friendly corn cob in a cowboy hat.

Rosella Zaske, our social media and communications intern, also showcased her brilliance by receiving the Jessica Kennedy-Matthews Emerging Marketer Scholarship!

A huge shoutout to Lydia, Sammy, and Rosella for their incredible work, and many thanks to American Marketing Association Lincoln Chapter for hosting such a great event. We love seeing fellow marketing minds continue to make an impact across the greater Lincoln community and celebrate the talented creatives helping shape it. 💙

Finding new ways to be creative in your work rarely goes unnoticed, and I encourage others to do the same.”
