Public relations major earns regional award

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. -- Public relations students at Westminster College are creating a record of performance excellence, and that tradition continued this year with a fifth win of a regional public relations honor.
Kristan Kohley, a junior public relations major, has been awarded the Renaissance Student Scholarship Award from the Pittsburgh chapter of the Public Relations Society of America.
This is the fifth time in the last six years that a Westminster student has won the award.
The award recognizes the outstanding Western Pennsylvania undergraduate student in public relations, based on academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, letters of endorsement and essays.
Kohley is a graduate of Knoch High School and the daughter of Philip and Melanie Kohley of Saxonburg. She joins Renaissance winners Megan Sigler, a 2005 graduate from Cranberry Township; Megan Duda Corbin, a 2001 graduate from Erie; Amanda Kengersky, a 2002 graduate from Punxsutawney; and Sara Ialongo, a 2003 graduate from Ellwood City, who was also recognized as the Renaissance Rising Star Award winner at this year's banquet.
