Fred Zehnder Memorial Undergraduate Journalism Scholarship
We were nurtured and encouraged and mentored by Fred Zehnder. That’s why the four of us (Diane Dwyer (Silver Circle Class of 2014), Gary Kauf, Kevin Wing (Silver Circle Class of 2013 and Governors’ Service Medallion 2013), and I) helped NATAS set up this undergraduate scholarship…to help young people become the kind of journalists who would make Fred Zehnder proud.
