One of our seniors won top honors as best anchor &#8212; I think he&#8217;s won this award three of the last four years, he&#8217;s a hard-working and gifted young man. A grad student, who is also IUSTV&#8217;s long-running manager and general superhero, earned a second place prize in television copywriting. IUSTV&#8217;s news director claimed first place in a television package category. She&#8217;ll return in that role for the station next year as well. One of our new alumni took second place in that same category for a piece he produced in his senior year. (Another incredibly talented fellow, He also announced his new job working in summer league baseball, doing media relations and calling games. It&#8217;s only a matter of time for that guy.) Four of our wonderful students brought home second-place in the television news program contest, and one of IUSTV&#8217;s projects won the short film category. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/blog\/banners\/bannerscuba.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re still interested in all of this, I figure I have about another week&#8217;s worth of photographs to share here.

(It is not in the vase.)<\/p>\n<p>This is a gray angelfish (<em>Pomacanthus arcuatus<\/em>) first described in the mid 18th century, this reef fish is, today, quite popular in the aquarium industry. I can see why.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/mar22\/cozumel33.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>These are beautiful foureye butterflyfish (<em>Chaetodon capistratus<\/em>).
