Nina Johnson won the Journalism School’s Amy Lenk Staff Appreciation Award at a ceremony held in the Reynolds Journalism Institute on April 30.
This annual event celebrating the contributions of journalism staff was formerly known as the “Pat on the Back Award.” Last year, the Missourian faculty and staff nominated Nina and were told that she was not staff since she was a librarian. Evidently they felt so strongly about it, they appealed to the committee to allow them to honor her. Dean Mills read a brief part of one of the nominations, presented her with a $500 cash award, a plaque and a packet of nomination letters. A lovely reception honoring her followed the award ceremony.
Congratulations, Nina!
