Four University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications Advertising students were selected for the national 2021 American Advertising Federation (AAF) Most Promising Multicultural Students program to be held virtually from Jan. 26-29.

Advertising seniors Bryce Chan, Nicole Lopez, Alexa Schummer and Andrea Wood will have the opportunity to participate in networking and personal brand coaching breakout sessions, video enhanced interviewing and multiple live stream industry lead immersions with advertising, marketing and media professionals.

The Most Promising Multicultural Students program is part of AAF’s Mosaic Center for Multiculturalism initiative to promote diversity and inclusion within the industry and connects the advertising industry with the nation’s top multicultural college seniors. It provides opportunities to recruit fresh talent to further prepare the advertising industry’s best young prospects and to help the advertising and media workforce better reflect the diversity of today’s society.

The four students are also American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A’s) Multicultural Advertising Intern Program (MAIP) Fellows.  CJC tied for third for the number of recipients selected for the 2021 program. Fifty students were selected from 160+ AAF college chapters.
