Wyatt Kopelman Nominated for 44th College Television Awards

United Nations International School alumnus and New York City native Wyatt Kopelman has been nominated for the Television Academy Foundation’s 44th College Television Awards. The Foundation’s annual awards show recognizes and rewards excellence in student-produced programs from colleges across the country. Winners in the competition will be announced by television stars at the red-carpet awards ceremony on April 5, 2025, at the Television Academy in North Hollywood, California. Designed to emulate the Emmy Awards, student entries are judged by Television Academy members. Criteria for the College Television Awards reflect industry standards of excellence, imagination and innovation.

Kopelman, along with classmates at the University of Miami, has been nominated in the News category for the Oct. 19, 2023, episode of NewsVision, UMTV’s award-winning campus news program. Kopelman served as a producer and writer on the program which focused on the aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel and how the South Florida community reacted to the attack. The project was selected from over 200 entries from colleges nationwide by Television Academy members.

From New York City, Kopelman is a 2024 graduate of the University of Miami’s journalism master’s program.

“Winning the College Television Award would confirm my interest in developing local news coverage that is conducive to market-leading journalism and also impacting a college news show populated with talented students and insightful faculty members,” said Kopelman.

Attending nominees of the 44th College Television Awards will participate in professional development events with media and industry leaders and a special screening of their projects for Television Academy members prior to the awards show on April 5.
