'Guidance, grit and good advice,' keynote speaker motivates student journalists at GSPA Awards

Two-hundred-sixty high school journalists and teachers from around the state learned how “guidance, grit and good advice” can propel them forward in their education and careers during the Spring Awards ceremony March 27 at the University of Georgia’s Center for Continuing Education.

Keynote speaker Sydney Shadrix, an anchor, reporter and UGA alumna, delivered the motivating message.

“It is my hope that with guidance, grit and good advice, you will go out, you will find something that is important to you…and that you will have that bravery to dare greatly,” she challenged.
