Dorgan Community Journalism Scholarship established
A Journalism student at the University of Maine at Presque Isle will receive the first award from a newly created scholarship on campus.
Senior International Studies Major Dave Hamilton will receive the first-ever Darrell Dorgan Community Journalism Scholarship. The $600 scholarship was created through gifts from Darrell Dorgan, an award-winning journalist, and an anonymous donor.
Hamilton, of Mapleton, serves as the Editor of the University Times, the student newspaper.
“I’m honored to receive this scholarship and to be its first recipient,” Hamilton said. “Working with the University Times has given me the opportunity to go out into the community and coordinate with people to get local stories into our newspaper and also help to build positive relationships that will last.”
