A little self-bragging! COM/media is an AWARD WINNING program
Robert Seagle, Paul Spencer, and Trahern MacLean in Maynooth, Ireland.
We have to admit that we’ve been a bit remiss in bragging about ourselves. Here at UNCW COM/media we’re kind of humble and just do great work, year after year. But, we think it’s time to change that a bit and catch everyone up on our success.
