Ryan M. Frank Innovation Award

Established in 2014 at the suggestion of Andy Rossback who had been EiC 2012-13 and headed up our first attempt at creating an in-house ad agency, The Venture Department. Ironically, but logically the award was given to Rossback that first year. This award is for any Emerald student who expands the breadth and depth of what it means to be a college media company.
