Meet A Future Leader From Merrimack: Melinda Rolls

MERRIMACK, NH — The future of Merrimack is looking bright, thanks to the incredible young people working to strengthen our community. In partnership with T-Mobile, Patch is proud to spotlight future leaders working hard at college to prepare for the future.

Melinda Rolls, a Journalism student from Merrimack attending Lawrence Herbert School of Communications at Hofstra, won in the category of Public Affairs [Radio-Student] for excellence in anchoring and producing the weekday program Newsline on WRHU-FM Hofstra University.

The prestigious honor, awarded annually by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWMF), recognizes work by, for, or about women in television, radio, and online media on the national, local, and student levels. Hofstra students have taken home multiple Gracie Awards for the last 11 years.

The Herbert School's multiple wins at the Gracie Awards exemplify Hofstra's commitment to student success, a pillar of the Hofstra 100 strategic plan, introduced by Hofstra President Susan Poser in fall 2024.

The Herbert School is a nationally recognized leader in educating students with the skills they need to not only launch successful careers today but also to shape the media landscape in the years to come. For more information, visit hofstra.edu/herbert.
