The era of our ‘26 seniors is coming to a close, and what an era it’s been.

These five brought creativity, leadership, and a whole lot of personality to The Agency. From growing skills in graphic design and leadership, to becoming stronger strategic communicators, to learning how every piece of an agency works together, they didn’t just work here, they made this place better.

James said it best: “We’re all a big family.” And that’s exactly what you leave behind.

Congratulations, Class of 2026. We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see where you go next.

The Louie Awards are always a great time, and this year was no different! Named after Dr. Louis Ingelhart — the founding chair of Ball State's journalism department and a legendary advocate for student press freedom — the Louies are SJSC's annual celebration of student excellence. This year, two Agency students were finalists for juried awards that highlight the best work in the school:

- Radley Richman, our interim Director of Sales, was a finalist for the Excellence in Photography award.
- Zoe Brock, our Director of Public Relations, was a finalist for the Excellence in Strategic Communication award for her work with Queen City Clay.

In addition to the juried Excellence Awards, The Agency recognized four of our own with silver and gold honors:

- Emerging Voice Silver Award – Madelyn Cooper, Chloe Couch, and Radley Richman
- Visionary Leadership Gold Award – Oakley Myers

Huge congratulations to all our finalists and award winners — we are so proud of you!

The school year may be winding down, but The Agency is just getting started.

Last Thursday, four Agency students visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Fishers Event Center as part of the School of Journalism and Strategic Communication’s Spring Agency Tour.

Creative Services Associate Piper Stewart said the trip “made me realize how much storytelling and tradition go into building a brand that people really care about.” Public Relations Director Zoe Brock added that it “provided valuable insight into the unique atmosphere of sports communication.”

Students left feeling re-energized and inspired by the experience. We’re grateful to SJSC for providing opportunities like this!

Congrats to our Director of Creative Services, Nariyah Mendez, who took first place in the Best Designer category at the 2026 College Media Business and Advertising Managers Individual Awards — competing against college media programs from across the country.

Nariyah has been part of The Agency since her freshman year, building a portfolio that includes work for Cradle to Career Muncie, Mothers of Professional Basketball Players, the Cardinal Media Housing Fair, and more. She's led our creative team with talent and heart, and this award is well-earned.

We're so proud of you, Nariyah. Go out and do great things.
